    "statistics book" is particularly funny to me

    like obviously the person who made this has never opened a book in their life but just the utter failure to understand what a book on statistics contains is so fucking funny

    like 'ya i just learned how to use a lognormal distribution, i'm racist now'

        It’s like the helicopter joke, chuds have only one statistic. Nevermind the other statistics that completely shatter the premise of that one

      It's even better when you learn that the flag the character was holding is the Workers' Party (Brazil) flag. Which is a socdem party that was created by Lula da Silva lol

    The palestine one is the most egregious, as though there is some version of history where the wholesale, deliberate, state sponsored mass murder of children was appropriate.

    Still milking the same punchlines from 2011?

    Well, I got a punchline too: In that statistic book, check out which race is the least likely to keep its hands off kids?

    Oh and also Reddit moment.

    I love that these are all just generic "books" not like, anything specific.

    I think this shows the tendency we all have to assume everyone else is like us, and our enemies to be like us, but worse. So if your average CHUD never reads, they assume that their enemies never read even more.

    Putting the word "book" on a book just in case your audience doesn't know what one looks like

    BLM being afraid of the statistics book is giving major “despite… 🤓” vibes

    I just have to stop and appreciate the incredibly smooth photoshop job someone did to add the fourth guy with the Palestine flag. You can barely tell he's just the communist guy copy pasted and hastily edited

      Barely, if any better. It still sucks, but not because communism, it sucks because neoliberal politics, the current government is continuing a lot of things from the last one. Source: I live here and it sucks.
