I know people love to turn him into a meme, but it's pretty tone-deaf.

    They kind of are though.

    Online discourse isn't capable of handling irony in the long term. If a community does a bit long enough the simplest interpretation of it (in this case ASSAD GOOD) eventually just becomes the unironic consensus opinion.

      Go find me someone on this website that says Assad is an anti-imperialist (that isn't banned). OP already linked a post, and no one there called him an anti-Imperialist, or even went further than giving critical support to stave off US imperial meddling. Until you can convince me that somehow this website is full of unironic pro-Assad weirdos, I'm going to keep having fun on a website that spun off of a subreddit that spun off of a podcast dedicated to ironic shitposting
