This is a great retort. But does this belong in this community? Is this a meme?

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you not consider this a meme? If I may ask, why not?

Frankly, I have trouble defining what a 'meme' really is. Traditionally, a meme is an idea of some sort that spreads through a culture. A more modern definition would be:

An amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online especially through social media

So personally I would say this post a meme and thus belongs here. However, I don't know if Webster's definition is really what posters here, and more importantly the mods here, would use.

Does spitting fire as truth have a right to our memes?

[–] Rokin@leminal.space 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Good point. Technically it is, it's just not funny.

Memes don't always need to be funny.

What exactly is Israel? The government? The people? The corporations? Which aspect of the country has a right to exist exactly?

The part systematically killing off an entire population of people? No. That part has no right to exist.

The fullfilment of prophecy to bring about the end times according to their doomsday cult.

Jesus fucking christ so basically every power structure that men inhabit has rights but people don't have rights?

We don't need to tolerate this bullshit.

Since when did states have rights?

[–] bilb@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah, "does Israel have a right to exist?" is a nonsense question. What's the difference between a state with that right and one that doesn't? Is a state that has a "right to exist" therefore somehow beyond reproach? I think it's a rhetorical tool that is meant to confuse people, because any clear eyed understanding of reality leaves Israel looking obviously terrible.

its always been a laundering scheme to go back into the campaigns of politicians, much like with the charter school vouchers. Which is why schumer, hakeem, slotkin, booker was so adamant to support them it funds thier stolen money lifestyles, and yes they are pratically dinos(actually the old moderate Rs)
