Sometimes I miss the 2016 version of myself, where I would get a mild dopamine boost about funny jokes about the orange man, or seeing a celebrity endorse my favorite DNC war criminal - blissfully unaware of global politics, war, and genocide.

    These people also ruined simpsonsshitposting which for me was the only decent place left in that cesspool. None of their memes are even good! All grandma-tier clapbacks.

        Oh yeah. I felt like it was pretty neutral overall, though the crossposts with the_leftorium were always well-received. Now at least a third of the posts are just the most low-effort, r/politics-comment-over-a-simpsons-scene dreck. There’s no way that shit’s totally organic.

      I think right wingers don’t get comedy. They just think it’s open season to be a racist or bigot or push whatever dumbass agenda they ride for (like return to imaginary tradition) and the humor just dies
