    “It’s just a meme bro” is the saddest defense of this sort of crap. It’s schroedinger’s douchebag - if people don’t like the right wing tripe you’re spewing, don’t worry, it was just a joke!

    No attempt was made to lampoon the viewpoint presented in the meme, it was just given primo facia. The idea that it’s being offered with a wink and a nod is a justification after the fact that rings totally hollow.

    Also, “ironically” being a nonce is still being a nonce.

      My case in point. You obviously just want to be outraged about something. I hope you enjoy yourself…have a nice day…

      It’s not “just a meme bro”

      It’s a direct parody of the governments and lockdowns during Thanksgiving and the reactions surrounding it all. It’s absolutely “lampooning the viewpoint”. You can take the meme serious, you can take it humorous. But you know, I think k that in 6 hours or so when I post another Thanksgiving meme, I’m not going to remember this conversation and let your seriousness in a Memes channel live rent free in my head
