I've been seeing this guy for ages and he usually has good takes. Also who TF is he?

[-] brenticus@lemmy.world 63 points 5 months ago

As far as I can tell, he's basically a random web designer who got traction on Twitter with criticism of Trump. It's kind of impressive how prolific a dude can be out of nowhere.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 36 points 5 months ago

He was basically one of Trump's reply guys when he was still on Twitter. Whenever Trump posted he was right under there with his take, and it gave off very resistance lib vibes.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 months ago

Feels like the top Bluesky posters are all randos!

Jeff Tiedrich tweets out loud what we all feel in our hearts so we don't need to.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

I think he's just an Internet person. Not even a celebrity outside of his online presence.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 13 points 5 months ago

I'm a prolific internet person; how come my takes, hot or otherwise, never blow up? 😩

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 8 points 5 months ago

I guess it's a "right time, right place" thing.

I mean, you're posting on Lemmy, so even when you post interesting, well-thought-out or funny things, you've only got 1 to 500 people going "Oh, cool - I really like that".

People posting stuff on Twitter can get thousands of likes and reshares etc, and sometimes you get places like the BBC making "news" out of a Twitter post, spreading things amongst many more thousands (or millions?) of people.

About 8 billion people have never heard of you, but most of the people on Lemmy probably think you're ace.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

I always think he looks like Budget Steven Spielberg.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

I can't help but think "Oh Andy Dick grew a beard"

[-] floral_toxicity@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I see Eric Clapton.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

I don't get it?

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Someone is sassy at someone else on the Internet. Not entirely sure why that's newsworthy it wasn't a particular clever post

[-] thrawn@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] thrawn@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

His parents were part of the resistance and he's not really into the history of "poasting".

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

I don't think I'm any more enlightened than I was before.

[-] NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

What I mean is: I'm just as confused as you.

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I leave for 15min and wtf happened?!

[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

BAMF

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

His daughter is funnier.

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I might be a little ootl what does it mean by "resist libs"?

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

I think resist liberals?

Heh

A web search also returns The Resistance

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Sounds like it was given by people that like Trump? I guess? Had no idea there was a collective nickname for people that hate Trump. Thanks for the links.
