when rightoids say “the left can’t meme” what they really mean, but don’t know that they mean, is that “libs can’t meme”
imagine taking the most hated evil supposedly genocidal dictator on planet earth (President Xi) and comparing him to…a pleasant mild-mannered bear who eats honey
it’s the exact same vibes as “HE’S AN ORANGE CHEETO!!!11” :cheeto: heh, I totally owned him
I always assumed they stuck with it cause it lets them depict an Asian man as yellow without being called racist
the “Xinnie the Pooh” shit is for 10-year-olds
why the fuck are “adult” libs saying it
Because there was this famous photo of Obama and Xi walking together. Some clever Chinese person put the photo on top, and a picture of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger walking together on the bottom, and it was a dead ringer for the pair. Of course, mocking the leadership is not allowed in China so the right-wing memer was deplatformed and the graphic banned from circulation. Thus the libs think they’re tweaking China’s nose with the Winnie the Pooh comparison.
TBF, the real reason for this is that once you’re internet-right far enough, nothing is really off limits for “humor”. Diftbag leftists can get close, but there is essentially nothing more powerful than a deranged 4chan shitposter.
Example: The 30 year old boomer meme was forced entirely by one person. They would go on the different 4chan subforums, spam their meme, get IP banned, and go again. Eventually it catches on, and from this springs zoomer, doomed, and all the other -oomers. It’s kinda amazing what you can do with anonymity and a lot of free time.
I have actually forced a few 4chan memes and brought them into fruition, to the point where I’ve seen them posted dozens of times by other people. And yes I’ve gotten IP banned for it (:freeze-peach: tho!!11)
it sucks because most proxy services are banned by 4chan too. If I was a total computer wizard I’d have a bunch of dynamic IP proxys just botspamming 4chan with leftist-commie-antiwestern-antichud shit
