I wasn't really sure where to put this, just kind of funny that I made a meme so dank they were completely unable to parse anything about it. Something about the "political humor" subreddit mods having no idea the "who must go" meme even exists tickles me.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
They couldn't take the 5 seconds to search Know Your Meme for Who must go?
dang, there it is right there:
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/assad-must-go
@Frank@hexbear.net ask the mods about their opinion of assad, maybe the curse will get them replaced with someone who knows the meme or can spend 5 seconds searching for an explanation
I was looking at their reply trying to decide what to make of it. Like either they had objections for partisan reasons, or they're hopelessly unsuited for the high level of esoteric absurdism Hexbear enjoys. Regardless, didn't seem worth engaging with them. i was thinking of some gentle way to congratulate them for all their grass touching but I don't think there's any way to say "Your ignorance of basic geopolitical jokes suggests that you are mentally well to an admirable degree" that doesn't sound like an insult.
There are actual left-wing subs that have bots set up to autoban anyone with activity in PoliticalHumor because the most insufferable shitlibs gather there.
I think they just hate Arabs
not only is it on kym it's also on wiktionary lmao

lmao the kym article has a CTH version first in the gallery.
No see if they personally don't know about it then it doesn't exist. Also they are the only appropriate arbiters of, objectively, what constitutes humor. Because humor is an objective thing and definitely not subjective.
The meme was in a really basic four panel comic format, too. I forget what the four sections are called but it had a setup, reversal, and punchline in classic joke format.
