Whataboutism exists to show fucks like you contradictions in your beliefs, not to excuse what is happening. Opposition is so strong in any capitalist country nowadays, isn’t it? Freedom of speech is universal right, until couple of journalists say something too “freespeachy”. Sure, making people to vote between two indistinguishable candidates is fine, but when one guy wins throughout the years - FREEDOM IS LOST, AUTHORITARIANISM IS ON THE RISE. Play pretend game of thinking that these two are so different, that one can be called democracy and other is fascistic dystopia is really funny.
AND OF COURSE THERE IS A FUCKING NAZI SLOGAN IN THE FLAIR, HOW VERY DEMOCRATIC.
I mean it sucks but posting dank memes is some pretty low hanging fruit.
It’s “you know what’s actually super cool and subversive, these CIA talking points.” the subreddit
It’s the absolute bottom of the barrel of redditors that think posting a picture of Xi as pooh bear is the edginess funniest thing you can do.
Although if you wanted to see the opposite of this meme on the front tnpage you could literally just make a post “as a progressive I’d like to ask you to not post anything saying that Russia is the good guy in the war because that would really trigger me” and they’d do a 180 and fill their front page with pro Russia stuff.
Ironically, the term “dank” like “dark and damp” fits the subreddit much better than the “cool” internet slang version of the word. These memes feel like they come out of a nasty smelling mouldy basement.
