Funny, but also some pretty glaring omissions. You can't get everyone, but Putin seems like a pretty obvious one to include.
Drake but not Putin. Got it.
W seems to be forgiven for the search for WMDs without evidence.
Whoa now, there’s at least 1 Republican in the picture. That’s impressive enough for @return2ozma@lemmy.world!
When the liberal shows up and starts defending war criminals because his Blue Maga Dems by trying to pull a both sides
People that aren't Tankies can actually count multiple Republicans in there.
But if you don't know the difference between a Democrat and a Republican anymore, your safest bet is to blame the Russians and Chinese for this meme.
It's kinda annoying how quickly he's been forgotten. If we're just looking at policy, Trump was a bog standard Republican. Dubba redefined national and international policy for every administration to follow.
They were hiding them in caves you know /s
These are some pretty fuckin high quality images; someone is putting some time into this.
Also, a notably high percentage of them involve Joe Biden in some way. It's basically "climate change is bad" "Israel is bad and Palestine's good" "Joe Biden is a big dickhead" in rotation, and not a whole lot more than that. One shows Jeffrey Epstein smiling warmly and reaching down from heaven to extend a hand to Biden.
Fascinating
Edit: I got curious -- tineye also found this version, which was also from right before an election, and a little modified. It included Bill and Hillary Clinton, but not Mitch McConnell or John Fetterman, and Biden was a lot less prominent, where he's pretty front and center in the new one (second only to Netanyahu.) Also, there wasn't an active genocide at that time to motivate the creation of it, but it still emerged in the same form at around the same point in the election cycle. Maybe I am reading too much into it but I thought it was interesting.
oooh the second one is like the iraq war war crimes
Yeah. The one before the miderm election was just kind of calling back to the Iraq war and Obama and all, and making the pretty accurate point that everyone in the American system and our friends even the "good guys," tend to bomb the shit out of anywhere in the world that it serves our purposes to do so.
This one is really emphasizing Biden; like half his cabinet is on there. Trump is present, but it's not a bipartisan thing anymore. Also, someone else pointed out -- where the fuck is Putin? If you're gonna put up Erdoğan and Charlie Kirk and all?
Now I'm really curious to go back through the history of this page and see if they were pushing any Ukraine memes back when those were the new hotness, in the same way that they're posting all these Palestine memes today.
No nobody cares about Genocide. Actually there's no Genocide it's all Pootins CGI to make the Russians win the elections (again) and end Democracy like they did in 2016 (again)!
$50 says that Russia is strangely missing from their extensive concern about war crimes, in the same way that Donald Trump is strangely missing from their broad concern about pedophilia. Want to take the bet?
Oh man and they forgot all about the people committing Genocide in Darfur too! And they forgot to mention Bill Clinton who's a frequent visitor of Epstein Island and all the other establishment Democrats!!! Oh wait those bad guys don't exist on CNN!
There's some text in the bottom right thats rather on the nose.
Who do you think "we" is in this context?
The point isn’t that Putin needs to be on every list of bad people in the world (although, leaving him off such an extensive list of war criminals is pretty strange). The point is that if I rewind back to when every meme from the US political internet was talking about “Russian warship go fuck yourself” or like that, I bet that all of a sudden this page won’t anymore be in such lock-step with the generally popular topics for left person memes.
$20? I’m taking it from your reply that you don’t want to bet $50 but maybe a smaller one you’re okay with? I will actually bet with you before looking, if you want to take the bet.
Who do you think “we” is in this context?
IDK. Is it the well known Erdoğan / Drake / Blinken Alliance?
Also, I'm assuming you don't want to bet. If you change your mind, let me know.
Mhhh and Scholz. And Sunak. Mhhhhh could this have something to do with "The West"?
Obvious bait is obvious.
He thought we forgot about his crimes against humanity
You can remove Drake, Kendrick killed him.
that cereal turned my poop bright green.
