Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

Nothing says equality quite like violence huh

What this really means to me is men saying, don't push for equality or I will physically hurt you. "Equal rights equal fights" is just an excuse to commit the violence you've always wanted to commit.

If that's not the way the people who use these phrases feel, then they should rethink using them because imagine how it it would feel:

You're a human, on the new intergalactic stage, a man. Every other race in the council gets a universal guaranteed income of 10000 spacebucks/ month

You get 9000 and it seems unfair.

Common sentiment is, oh you want intergalactic equality with all races? You're saying you're cool with getting telekenetically beaten up anytime right, RIGHT? Sure maybe you can't compete telekenetically with the flasnorbs, but you want equal rights right?!

You should be happy to even be included, why should you get the same right to vote on the international polls as the flasnorbs when you can't even fight back telekenetically? Your place is in your menial jobs, not jutting about the galaxy, know your place.

Obviously this is just a metaphor for how real woman are feeling in our real life.

Well said. I think it boils down to them assuming that if the roles were reversed we'd treat them the way they treat us, they see no other option because it's all they know.
