Memes have become a tool for corporate interests. I wonder if the Dark Brandon thing was pushed alongside student loan forgiveness in an attempt by the Dems to make themselves look cool before the midterms?

    What made Dark Brandon funny for me was the idea that he was doing super cool things (like executing cops or something I don’t know) because Biden is infamously, like, not really there most of the time. It’s like he was falling asleep in the middle of a press conference and then accidentally hitting the communism button with his head on the way down to the floor. Libs have appropriated the meme now and just use it to say what they’ve always been saying: Biden is God. But in reality, Biden is fucking dogshit.

    Now that I think about it, it reminds me of something a friend said: Biden supporters are the true accelerationists. Had Trump remained in office, libs could have continued to tell everyone that if we just gave them a chance, they would do better. Now we know that is not the case, and Biden’s “incompetence” or “evil” (really just his endless kowtowing to the bourgeoisie) may, who knows, bring about the revolution sooner than expected, in which case he will truly be Dark Brandon.

      Not before a dark decade of bullshit- but yes, justice will eventually come.
