:grillman: I don't have social media so this the first I've heard of it. It seems stupid...
Let this be a lesson to us all: never let the libs read your shitposts.
The Libs taking 'Tankie' for themselves should have clued us in.
I haven't seen that one in the wild. So do they get forced to admit stalin's decision to send the tanks into Hungary has been vindicated by history?
Stalin was dead at the time. The Soviet Union was technically under Krushchev, but the Politburo made the decision without his approval. It caused a rupture in Communist Parties all over the West, but it was still mostly MLs being called tankies by other MLs. Some on the forming Maoist anti-revisionist side considered it to be a "Kruschchevite" crime ironically.
If you say anything even slightly critical of US foreign policy, the war in Ukraine, or anything positive or even neutral about China or critical of the soon to be war in the Taiwan straits there's about a 50/50 chance that someone will appear to call you a tankie.

Now Neera Tanden is tweeting about how sick and cool the laser eyes are.

Now Neera Tanden is tweeting about how sick and cool the laser eyes are. It’s a nightmare.
:walter-breakdown: I wanted this to be a joke soooo badly
If Joe Biden came out to his next speech in black face I would die laughing
People have convinced liberals to embrace "Brandon" by Morbing it to the mainstream
It's like Irish Joe but with Laser Eyes
Good call on Morbing, this is very much Morbius returning to theaters every 5 weeks to bomb at the box office.
kept posting memes of it till a wapo (iirc) writer noticed and wrote a piece about it
Tragically, any time Biden seems to do something even remotely based he still manages to fall face first down a staircase full of rakes
Remember the Onion articles that memed Joe Biden into being a cool uncle?
It's kinda like that
I'm pretty sure the Onion formally apologized for making America think Biden was anything other than an incompetent creep.
Until bubbling up the libosphere I'd only seen v***h orbiters using it unironically, it's absolutely cope
You know how Trump supporters depict Trump as a six-packed demigod with superpowers?
The libs are doing that with Biden. And they still lose their shit if you call it Blue MAGA.
I mentioned in a thread yesterday it was basically Qanon for Dems. That Brandon has machinations going on that could only be guessed at, and the doddering, stuttering uncle Joe image is just a front. I'd imagine most people are just memeing but it seems like a statistically not insignificant portion which actually believe this kind of shit, because the reality is too grim otherwise.
Trust the plan. The plan in this case is just to vote for more dems and give them money too.
It sucks cause I really liked Dark Brandon in the first context I saw it, which was this tweet where he says very bizarre things about drunk driving not being a felony and therefore not worthy of arrest. I liked the idea of highlighting moments of senility as instead a sort of "dark evil energy" taking over Biden, like Yugi and Yami Yugi in the first arcs of Yugioh. My friends and I would joke about how in the clip where he talks about "voting for the other Biden" that the other Biden was Dark Brandon. I remember one night getting into hysterics thinking about "Dark Brandon declares sober driving illegal, says driving 'should be cool, beers and babes'". It was hilarious to me.
BUT FRIGGIN LIBS RUINED IT LIKE ALWAYS AND I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW. Like the lib meme is that he's getting a bunch of stuff done? How is that dark????
I think it's kind of an unconscious admission that the dems aren't really supposed to do anything, it's enough to try and fail but never actually challenge bourgeois power - so him "getting things done" is a dark vision of the dems (also Biden is responsible for these things passing but isnt responsible when dems do shitty things lol). And then libs like to imagine that any of these provisions will attack power, I guess capping some prices of drugs is actually an attack on unconstrained bourgeois power into something very slightly more constrained (of course, compare this to simply provisioning drugs based on need and using defence production act to manufacture them outside the market economy). So maybe this tiny little constraint in an otherwise neoliberal agenda is a dark version of Biden.
Biden literally shaking his finger at black people says a whole lot without words.
I love that the image of Biden with yellow eyes that every lib, and even some official democrat Twitter accounts, originally came from a VERY pro-China artist on Weibo. This guy criticized Biden’s Covid response by drawing him as the king of hell on a throne of guns surrounded by Covid zombies.
Do you have that image I want to see it?
It was originally a funny term to describe all the weird things happening during Biden’s presidency, like Abe being shot or Bojo resigning, as if his machinations are coming together for a dramatic climax.
But recently liberals co-opted it and made it into a pro Biden meme because of his recent “accomplishments” like getting president Manchin to sign a climate bill or getting the FBI to raid Trump
