Your comment reads as if Israel continuing to starve Palestinians was absolutely unavoidable since 1947.

Think that’s where we differ though - I don’t think the artist is complaining, just observing. If my significant other has a quirk and I identify it even in meme format, that doesn’t mean I’m demonising them no? Some of my friends who are women complain about when I offer solutions to problems they just want to rant about so I related to this in a way - imo that’s not a bad thing, just different and perfectly valid. My GF however likes when I give her inputs on how to handle situations. Both are fine, and I actually preferred my female friends telling me they don’t like it because then I could ask my girlfriend or even just other friends (men and women) “by the way, do you like when I offer solutions or would you prefer me to just listen?” The difference between this and boomer humour is the latter would then go onto say “that’s why I hate my wife” lol.

I didn’t intepret this as “bad”?

Collectivist =/= Communist, I am tired or arguing with Red Scare Americans who do not understand what Communism even is, nor understand the fact that a government that implements mass privatisation that the Nazis put in place is the exact opposite of communism. Fuck me.

Me when I ignore the numerous amounts of right wing genocidal dictators installed by western capitalist governments in other countries in the name of capitalism (I am using Black Book of Communism rhetoric, a book that included stagnating birth rates and death of Nazi figures in war to inflate my figures as I have no other argument of substance).

So you don’t know what communism is since you mentioned it needing a state. I guess Nazi Germany is communist because of the “collectivist” goal of the Nazi party to improve the “motherland.” Wtf am I saying, you probably actually believe that.

I wonder what you think the motive behind colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade was.

Seeing as this is useful for allergens, is this useful for atopy un general?

Nobody does racism like the Italians.

UK, early 20s, can and do drive manual.

The UK has a separate driving license for auto and manuals. If you pass your test with an automatic car, you get an automatic only license. If you pass eith a manual car you get a licence to drive both types, so most people decide to drive manual (although there is a slow increase of people getting auto only licenses). I prefer manual because they’re more fun to drive in my opinion.

Bipolar?

Well that’s not true because most memes on Twitter were made directly on the platform. Reddit memes were extremely dry in comparison to Twitter’s.

Twitter culture (depending on what parts of twitter you were on) was really hard to explain. Unless you used it and really knew how to, you don’t really get the benefit from it. Its feed structure combine with post length and algorith meant that it was really easy for you to know what other people were saying about things going on right now (reality shows, football matches etc). It also made searching for news so easy (due to its Trending feature), so you were kept in the loop about things.

The meme culture of Twitter was also very unique. I can say with absolute confidence that Twitter memes were bomb (before Musk ruined it). Way better than any memes I’d come across on Reddit or Lemmy so far.

The only problem is you had to take Twitter in small doses. Stan culture and cyber-bullying culture were real negatives of Twitter. Certain people on that app were unhinged and that went unchecked because of how echo-chambers were set by the algorithm. You really had to check yoursel to make sure you weren’t being corrupted, especially because cyber-bullying was so normalised there (at least in my experience).
