    it's amazing how reddit comments never really change in tone or content. it's like facebook for people just internet savvy enough to not be on facebook

          That’s the other funny thing. They think writing cursive is some mythical skill that isn’t known by literally everyone. I love schooling people who think young people can’t write in cursive by always asking them if they can drive a manual. They often can’t and I find it funny when they act like because they can write in cursive that they somehow are better than younger people. Being able to drive a manual is always what you can bring up with that bullshit

            I think they've caught onto that one. The most recent batch of minion memes I saw had a bunch of stuff about how 'this generation' has a panic attack if you ask them to drive stick, define 'woman', or go without their phones for five minutes.

              I’m sure some do but it seems many old people can’t. I’ve had people make jokes about cursive who they themsleves couldn’t drive stick. It’s just something I find ridiculous

    HistoryMemes is a cryptofash shithole that will ban you for posting evidence against the Nazi/Hearst lies on the 1930s Ukrainian famine

      I interpret it as specifically as people who salivate at causing mass death and mayhem, but only if it's far away and with proxies so that it's not icky. As compared to people who want American GIs with boots on the ground getting their hands dirty doing warcrimes.

      I always took it to be a nickname for neoliberal warmongers specifically, obviously playing off of "tankie", and partly in reference to good 'ol obama-drone. The real funniest thing though is that the "bad guys" (like Russia) seem to have better, more cost effective drones lol.

      there's a nice double entendre in that. If you say something counter to their worldview, you get an ad-hoc monologue
