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 Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years.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!

It does, but I'll take that in exchange for knowing I'm reducing the harm I cause (media.kbin.social)

"one of the worst things about becoming educated on social issues is when people are like 'you used to have a sense of humor'
no i used to have internalized prejudices which i've worked really hard to overcome and i realize now that your jokes are shitty"

"Always reblog this because becoming more socially aware makes you dislike a lot of people"

I'll take disliking people for being bigots, over disliking people for things like race gender ability and sexuality, like those bigots do, any motherfucking day. 👍

It’s easy to get along with most people around a campfire, just tossing it out there.

Why would I want to get along with bigots?

[–] Airport_Bar 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm, good question. I guess because love wins

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In this house we don't tolerate intolerance, since history shows that sadly love does not in fact, win. Not against systems like capitalism or white supremacy or patriarchy.

If the love in question takes the form of enabling, then you're absolutely right. And laughing with or even quietly tolerating racist jokes is plainly enabling behavior.

Because it's a lot easier to educate people you get along with than to antagonize them and hope that they spontaneously come around to a point of view that you just made them associate with being rude. The association doesn't have to be true to be harmful, as is proven by the fact that they were already bigots to begin with.

Expecting marginalised people to educate bigots is the hight of privilege

than to antagonize them

You're telling on yourself if you consider those who stand up to bigots to be the antagonisers.

a point of view that you just made them associate with being rude.

Fuck off with this tone policing bullshit - it's nothing but an ex use to avoid accountability

The only reason that comes to mind is collective action/organizing. If you can find common ground in a social, economic, or political issue with another group, can align yourself with that group only in regards to that issue, and can in that way make progress on that issue... then do it.

You don't need to agree with people you're organizing with on anything but the thing you're organizing about.

That said, if I found myself agreeing with a proud bigot on anything at all, my first step would be a thorough recheck of my stance, its implications, and how I came to it in the first place.

That's class redutionist bullshit that puts your marginalised comrades at risk if not directly in harms way

Every year it gets easier to love, and harder to like people.
