I hated resist libs bc they were my parents.
Only looked at smug lefty twitter
wasn't familiar with his game.
didnt know let mitanty supports trans rights
Reason for behavior:
I didn't watch the full history of poasting
I don't know why I thought he sympathized with Israel Mercury was in retrograde
I mistook Jeff for Nate Silver (HOW?!?)
I will hereby respectJeff Tiedrichand I will NOT talk down on the future first-ballot Hall of Famer.
I don't get it?
Someone is sassy at someone else on the Internet. Not entirely sure why that's newsworthy it wasn't a particular clever post
This appears to be a political memes community, not a news one, and meme posts are not typically high effort. I’m not really a meme guy, this is likely my only comment on a meme community, but it doesn’t take expertise to see how snarky twitter twitter posts fit in the contemporary form of meme communities.
Weird how prevalent things like this are on the internet. It’s a designated meme place and you’ll still find comments trying to assert superiority over meme people. Lemmy’s too small to have mass upvote bots so clearly people of the community enjoy it, just let them have their posts. Not getting a popular-to-some thing (I will admit I don’t understand this post either) doesn’t make you cooler or better than the community that does understand it. I bet there’s a niche something that one of your communities likes— would you want someone like you dropping in and saying this?
And I get it: meme communities are kind of the lowest common denominator, though I’d argue that doesn’t make meme enjoyers lesser or worthy of ridicule. I’m not sure why I’m defending it either when yours is just one of millions of identical condescending comments, and I could’ve waited until tomorrow for the next guy to say this about a less popular niche that would be easier to speak up for.
Not to self reply the addendum to that comment separately (didn’t fit the flow of the previous one so I cut it out for here), but:
Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure I first had these thoughts after seeing legions of internet bros condescending black culture by pasting the same comment of “grown men writing poems about each other”. Obviously yours is not as rude, but I’m gonna post these two comments anyway so that when I next see it, I will hopefully remember I have this comment prewritten.
His parents were part of the resistance and he's not really into the history of "poasting".
I don't think I'm any more enlightened than I was before.
What I mean is: I'm just as confused as you.
