Thesis summary by @[email protected]:
The difference I think between the right and left is that the right would take joy from the suffering of the left.
Most people on the left would be sad if we lost Florida (or anywhere else really) as a result of climate change.
that’s literally the joke is that there is no joke. people are laughing at people’s suffering for purely ideological differences yknow? the laughter is inappropriate, an overreaction to something that is not funny at all.
it’s not a joke so much as just depressing.
that said i don’t know that this meme was particularly effective on rhetorical fronts, so i apologize that this was confusing and i don’t blame you. i’d try to edit the meme and do better, unfortunately it’s difficult for me to analyze exactly where i went wrong because of this bad anti-minority sentiment being prevalent on lemmy; all the feedback im getting is hopelessly intertwined with the exact ideological self centeredness i am seeking to address.
Yeah, but then its not a meme, right? Dunno, i aggree, but its just not funny to me.
thanks and yeah i’d call it antihumor maybe?
and plenty of the memes posted here aren’t funny in the traditional sense anyway, example
appreciate u engaging with me on a genuine level 👍
Sure, i just gave my opinion ^^ the one you linked is also not really that funny, but it feels less butthurt I guess? Dunno how to phrase it ^^
I try (and sometimes fail) to do that on the internet, thanks for appreciating :)
well don’t phrase it like that that’s rude as shit 😒
Hm your meme kinda is too, but you can't handle it yourself? Not a great trait
ok sorry for the miscommunication here i was asking for criticism on changing it but that wasn’t actionable advice as i have already said :/
you responded to me asking for advice with just another insult. whatever, carry on.
