but for now, it's funny to consider the US doing IMF-style restructuring to itself for... no other reason than we've hit the point where enough of us actually believe that's what you're supposed to do for the "GOOD" economy. We're not even getting a loan out of it, lol
Imaging making the doge meme
You find a funny dog picture and put some shit over it in comic sans and post it on the internet
Some people get its sheer stupidity, smile, move on
Some people like it and stick with it for a little bit bcos the dog is cute. Its silly, whatever.
But elon musk saw it first time, keeled over, laughing, lungs hurting. And then made it his online brand. He thinks its so cool and so funny. And the rest of us gaslight are ourselves to be like yeah bros quirky or are just in complete disbelief that this guy is rich and has power over your life
And then imagine being the guy who made the meme in the first place again
worse, imagine being a trans woman who repopularizes the meme through an ironic shitposting subreddit and then watching it grow beyond your influence until it hits the fucking white house.
