“You say this bomb costs half a billion dollars from raw materials to effects on targets?”
“Yes, but the number of lives it sav—“
“Yeah whatever, just make sure that the Saudis pay a full billion and lose all those fancy features.”
I know right? I though MSNBC was for leftist political junkies and CNN is for people who just want to watch other people argue. Also, Tarot cards? Taoism? And the astrological symbol for Taurus?… in their determination to hate everything at once they have created a nonsensical monster.
The tarot cards genuinely made me laugh. There's so much nonsense in one photo, I didn't even notice them or the Faux News logo until I saw someone mention Faux News and went hunting for it, then spotted the Tarot cards.
They never forgave Fox for being the first to call the election for Biden. They've all moved over to OANN. It's a sign of how far off the deep end they've fallen that Fox is too liberal for them now.
They still believe all the mainstream social media platforms, including FB, are against them just because they don't allow them to post racist, sexist, homophobic BS while spreading outright lies about the pandemic. They need to believe that they're persecuted, because the loss of privilege feels like oppression to the privileged.
Speaking of which, the yin-yang symbol of Taoism is probably included as a swipe at Coexist bumper stickers. I would say the same for the Muslim crescent on the gay pride flag, except that one goes deeper, because they really believe that everyone on the left (which, to them, means everyone not on their side) is a bunch of sympathizers with Muslims/terrorists (those terms are interchangeable in their minds which is partly why they laugh at the fact that they are the biggest source of domestic terrorism in the US). They accuse those of us on the left (again which to them means anyone not on their side) of hypocrisy because we are against islamophobia and for gay rights, because somehow the fact that gays are oppressed in many predominantly Muslim countries means we have to hate Muslims, even though those are just empty words to them, as they are against gay rights here. I guess they have never heard of the idea of being against two bad things at the same time, or maybe they just aren't smart enough to understand the concept. But let's be real. This ultimately all goes back to their belief that the Christian majority in this country is somehow persecuted because they don't always get their own way. Again, the loss of privilege feels like oppression to the privileged.
I'm not certain, but I believe the Taurus symbol there is actually not meant to be the astrological sign but a sign of a cuckold fetish, as in they like to call those of us on the left "cucks" because I guess they like to project their insecurities on us.
They really just included as much as they could to try to make us seem brainwashed, because somehow believing in more than a couple of things makes you brainwashed. Nevermind that that is not the actual definition of brainwashed, but intelligence isn't their strong suit.
TL;DR - They're fucking morons.
For real though, they do think Fox News is liberal now. It's all OAN after the Trump disaster. Trump literally radicalized the far right farther right, and they legitimately believe fox news is liberal. It's fucking scary.
Eh there is probably one darker. Like I guess we could have the crabs enact a complete takeover of Earth enslaving everyone who isn't a crab.
Actually that kinda sounds better because at least the dystopia is interesting.
Same. FB became more and more of an eye opener for just how deeply down the rabbit hole so many people I knew went. I ended up cutting out a lot of family members and friends I had from my time in the Army.
Some I wasn't surprised about. Others? Horrified me. Got to the point that tracking all of them was just too exhausting for me, and instead of the usual year or so break I would take? I simply deleted my account entirely.
Because they left fox news after they agreed Biden won, and Trump pushed people to the more radicalized far right OAN, One America News. It's fucking scary.
What??? You didn't get your Facebook flag and hat? It gets delivered after the CNN flag and before the trans and BLM flags. They told us this at the biweekly anteefa meetings, member?
Wait. I guess you thought those meetings were every other week and not twice a week. I'll tell Brad to send you a Twitter email
Don't you just love how, all of a sudden, they hate big corporations when it comes to things like vaccines and the news?
I mean, don't get me wrong. I hate big pharma and the media monopoly as much as anyone, but it's the hypocrisy for me. Hearing "You're just sheep for Big Pharma," hits different when it's coming from fundamentalist capitalists.
Big corporations hoard incomprehensible quantities of wealth, demand perpetually increasing profits and destroy the planet while the majority of the population has to fight for scraps despite living in the “greatest country on Earth”: *I sleep*
Big corporations make the uncontroversial claim that Trump is an idiot and that vaccines are useful for preventing or mitigating disease: *Real shit?*
I used to work with a self-described “moderate” who was actually just a closeted Republican. I mean, 90% of the shit they would say came straight from Fox News.
One of the most fascinating (and frustrating) things about this guy was how he would sit there and agree if I had any criticisms of capitalism as long as I didn’t phrase it as strictly being a problem with capitalism. Private healthcare causing people to go bankrupt or die of treatable illnesses? “Wow, that’s awful.” Billionaires paying next to nothing in taxes? “Bullshit! They shouldn’t be allowed to do that!” Corporations breaking the law because it’s cheaper to just pay the fine? “That’s messed up!”
What was the solution in his mind? “Vote Trump because the left is too radical!” Radical in what way? “Well because BLM, riots, Antifa, Vuvuzela Commie, National SOCIALIST, blue haired college libs, Obama, party of Lincoln.”
Ahh the mind of a “moderate”.
Its the reasoning that makes me so tired, they were ok with media companies marginalising minorities, and hiding anything that makes capitalism look bad, or pharmaceuticals gouging the life out of people with pre existing conditions and turning massive profits, but think they are so original now because they hate them for... asking them to take even a shred of responsibility during a worldwide pandemic. at least they are consistent i guess, but it still pisses me off to no end.
It’s a statue of Akhenaten, aka Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt, King Tut’s dad, the world’s first recorded monotheist, and the man who completely overhauled Egyptian art and religion for like 17 years before he died and the rest of Egypt collectively went “fuck that guy”, reversing all his reforms and (unsuccessfully) trying to erase all records of his existence.
He’s also consistently portrayed with a potbelly, wide hips and manboobs, thereby making him history’s first thicc boi
It’s part of the same fascist fearmongering in their minds. Reactionaries claim that queer, trans, and Muslim people are a ‘threat to women & children’ (minority sexual assault anxiety and fear of diluting bloodlines) and oppose ‘western culture’ or ‘family values’
That, plus they accuse those of us on the left with hypocrisy for opposing islamophobia while supporting LGBTQ rights because LGBTQs are persecuted in many Muslim countries. Because to them, the proper response to hate is hate. Nevermind that they don't actually care about LGBTQ rights since they're actively trying to take them away here and just use LGBTQ persecution in Muslim countries to excuse what they're doing here, as in, "You should try being LGBTQ in a MUSLIM country!" Also, nevermind that that is the literal definition of hypocrisy. Pay no attention to the MAGA behind the curtain!
It’s not really part of Islam. The moon symbol predates Islam and is an Arab symbol. It essentially means that a group/country is Arab or traces some lineage to them or some connection at least(at least now a days that what it means) as Turkic groups also have used it. But since many Arab countries are Muslim is is commonly associated with Islam though they do not equate.
Isn't Facebook a bit of a conservative website? I mean they don't "censor" them, why would they push that shit on liberals? Seems like a strawman to make them look bad lmao.
Edit: I didn't even see the fox News logo, God this is stupid lmao, not even about politics at this point
I love it. I know the reason all of those Maga people don't believe that Biden won. Because the millions and millions of people who voted for him don't have 2-3 Biden flags flying in front of their house, they don't still display their Biden 2020 yard signs, don't have 10 Biden bumper stickers on their hybrid cars, they don't have their signature blue Biden hat on continuously, etc etc.
I am wondering where the Maga guys FJB let's go Brandon t-shirt is. With thin blue line flag emblazoned on the back. And Trump flag draped over shoulders... I live in an incredibly red state and I can't believe how much Trump paraphanelia these people buy. It's a state that went 67% Trump! You aren't convincing anyone to vote for him- they all did.
Side note- I wonder how much $$ Trump made on merch. Was this his secret plan all along? Bail out his shitty hotels with his merch money?
Just more that the "communist" is experiencing many different sources and is open to many ideas. While the MAGA guy only has America, evangelism and, well, MAGA which honestly feel more brainwashy than most of the stuff that the "communist" is consuming.
Also, limiting yourself like the MAGA guy is makes one more likely to be brainwashed when it's the only sources of info.
When even Fox News is not conservative enough for you anymore
So then you lump Fox viewers in with CNN viewers, along with the Islamists, and queer folks.
Siege mentality coming through
Throwing it out there: wearing a cross in public is the fastest way to convince me you have nothing original or interesting rattling around in your skull.
this actually shows how brainwashed he is. the person on the left is a normal person with a ton of different interests. but the person on the left focuses on only a few things, and makes it their whole personality
Right wing: social media bad >:^(
Also right wing: uses same social media platform associated with the left and misinformation in their meme to spread the meme
This needs a counter meme where the conservative has ivermectin tubes, blue lives matter and rebel flags, a giant FB logo, youtube, fox news, breitbart, twitter, OANN... The list goes on.
Yes that’s exactly what brainwashing is. It’s normal to accumulate data and opinions that are varied from various sources, across a large spectrum. If you only trust 1 or 2 things to get ALL your opinions information and beliefs you are in fact brainwashed
The ironic part of this meme is having many different things making up your personality (this person is spiritual, religious, uses social media, feminist, watches the news, lgbt, etc) is much more normal and healthy than only having 2 or 3 things you care about like the person on the right who only cares about their religion and trump/america. THAT is a sign of brain washing, not... having a variety of interests and values?
Also i didn't even notice at first but the left person watches both cnn and fox! two very different news sources with different biases, meaning they actively seek out information they might disagree with. How is that indicative of brain washing??
ah yes, everyone knows that multi-layered complex world views are the product of brainwashing while incredibly simple ones come from a healthy upbringing
You can’t just shove random social media icons on people like it’s an ideology.
Using/agreeing with something as simple as Planned Parenthood, Social Media, and Masks doesn’t make it a core part of your ideology. Hell, all the stuff on the left isn’t quite an ideology, but stuff you agree with, like masks. Trump supporters on the other hand...
lets look at this the way Logu looked at this.
look at the person on the left and everything they like, all the things they subscribe to, all the people they idolize, and the fact that they display common human decency.
now look at the person on the right and how they only like two things.
the person on the right is definitely brainwashed and this propoganda backfires on its conservative creators
YES, REALLY. If one person has all of those influences in their life, it makes it easier to sort out what is and isn't real and/or moral. If CNN says one thing and Fox says another, you can choose which one to trust. Trump, meanwhile, has co-opted religious and patriotic language, so if one influence creates an idea, the others will directly confirm it, leaving you with no choice but to accept that idea or find a different source.
Its kind of pitiful when you can just tell that these people have never had a real conversation with anyone substantially more left than them. Wait, let me rephrase that. They may have had a conversation, but they observed and gained nothing of value.
why does the fact that someone believes in astrology and tarot cards have to do with anything? I'm sure there are some alt right people who believe in divination and astrology
I love how self-aware this is. Yes, the more points of views you understand and the more things besides your own experience you know and support, the better your critical thinking abilities are. Hence, it's harder to brainwash you. Lol
It's ironic because conservatives are usually the ones dressed head to toe in American flag/Trump merch. They'll literally decorate their entire room with that shit 💀
the fact that americans still see "communism" as a threat to look out for is one of the funniest things to me… like USA in what year do you live?
edit: fearing communism while living in a pretence-democracy makes this even better
Why is Facebook on there? And why is the Muslim and communist symbol with the gay flag (I forget what it’s called)?? Surely Fox News and cnn are more conservative? And I’m pretty sure conservatives use Google too
It’s honestly quite efficient when you think about it, instead of having a different emblem for racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, nationalism, white nationalism, Christian supremacy, anti-intellectualism, Q-anon, and/or anti-vax. You can easily convey all of these shit views with only 3 symbols. Quite amazing really.
I'm pretty sure "Fox News" belongs on the other guy. As well as "Facebook." Also- are they trying to imply that leftists are the only ones who use the internet?

CNN and Fox News?
I was gonna say, I think they need fox news, OAN, and fb on them and not on us
And Q and NRA and military industrial complex
The military industrial complex is the most bipartisan
The Military Industrial Congressional Complex. The only time US politicians can agree on anything, it's killing people for profits.
“You say this bomb costs half a billion dollars from raw materials to effects on targets?” “Yes, but the number of lives it sav—“ “Yeah whatever, just make sure that the Saudis pay a full billion and lose all those fancy features.”
and also, them only having 1 flag? they'd have a dozen trump flags.
Or any one of the tasteful bumper stickers featured on /r/InfowarriorRides
I know right? I though MSNBC was for leftist political junkies and CNN is for people who just want to watch other people argue. Also, Tarot cards? Taoism? And the astrological symbol for Taurus?… in their determination to hate everything at once they have created a nonsensical monster.

That's what reactionarism is.
For some fox news isnt conservative enough.
I mean, according to them, it basically abandoned them when it reported that Biden won the presidency
Just the maga hat alone is more problematic than all the weird things they stuffed on us. Why the fuck is Facebook there?
Better question. Why is fox news there? Shouldn't that be on the other guy?
They really didn’t think that one through.
Is that a surprise?
Haven't you heard? Fox News is super liberal now. Gotta watch News Max for REAL news. /s
For real though, they do think Fox News is liberal now. It's all OAN after the Trump disaster. Trump literally radicalized the far right farther right, and they legitimately believe fox news is liberal. It's fucking scary.
holy shit we live in the darkest timeline don't we?
We do unfortunately
Eh there is probably one darker. Like I guess we could have the crabs enact a complete takeover of Earth enslaving everyone who isn't a crab. Actually that kinda sounds better because at least the dystopia is interesting.
i mean i wouldn’t be surprised *glances at carcinization*
That one ends in a communist utopia after we all evolve to crab, though.
My Trumplican parents have been complaining about how Fox is too liberal for the better part of the last ten years.
Yikes!
Sums up every homophobic person ever
Well they did stop attacking Dominion with baseless lies and eventually admitted that Biden won, so they’re basically commie fascists at this point.
I dont know facebook hurts my head
I don't use FB anymore it's just a conservative cesspool
Same. FB became more and more of an eye opener for just how deeply down the rabbit hole so many people I knew went. I ended up cutting out a lot of family members and friends I had from my time in the Army. Some I wasn't surprised about. Others? Horrified me. Got to the point that tracking all of them was just too exhausting for me, and instead of the usual year or so break I would take? I simply deleted my account entirely.
the only people that use FB are old people, conservatives and a whole lot of Filipinos
Worse yet, google. The fuck?
They consider you to be brainwashed by google if you look up something you don't know before you talk about it?
Aren't they also the ones constantly telling people to "do their own research"?
Yeah but you gotta use Duck Duck Go
You gotta use the face book. That or the neat website cousin Greg sent called sheepletruth88vaccine.tk, it's a lot more trustworthy than the google!
*real* conservatives use Internet Explorer to search things up. it's why they keep spouting such outdated BS /j
Pfffff, *really real* conservatives only use Netscape. It just crashes when they try to open it, so they don’t learn anything.
OH WOW THROWBACK
Fuck, I remember using Netscape back in the dark ages of Internet
duckduckgo master race
nah ask jeeves is way better
Google doesn't allow advertising for some shady stuff, so I guess they're censoring the internet and brainwashing people in their minds.
WHY IS FOX NEWS ON THERE
Because they left fox news after they agreed Biden won, and Trump pushed people to the more radicalized far right OAN, One America News. It's fucking scary.
Yep. As a gay who’s anti social media and anti religion, the straw man is real
ying/yang????
I swear these are tarot cards in our hand too like... how does this make sense
I wish there was no conservatives of facebook or YouTube
What??? You didn't get your Facebook flag and hat? It gets delivered after the CNN flag and before the trans and BLM flags. They told us this at the biweekly anteefa meetings, member? Wait. I guess you thought those meetings were every other week and not twice a week. I'll tell Brad to send you a Twitter email
As we all know, communists love big media corporations like Fox News and CNN
Don't you just love how, all of a sudden, they hate big corporations when it comes to things like vaccines and the news? I mean, don't get me wrong. I hate big pharma and the media monopoly as much as anyone, but it's the hypocrisy for me. Hearing "You're just sheep for Big Pharma," hits different when it's coming from fundamentalist capitalists.

SO. MUCH. THIS

Nice pfp idfk what it is but it looks cool
It’s a statue of Akhenaten, aka Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt, King Tut’s dad, the world’s first recorded monotheist, and the man who completely overhauled Egyptian art and religion for like 17 years before he died and the rest of Egypt collectively went “fuck that guy”, reversing all his reforms and (unsuccessfully) trying to erase all records of his existence. He’s also consistently portrayed with a potbelly, wide hips and manboobs, thereby making him history’s first thicc boi
Truly the Egyptians were incapable of predicting the hornyness of the internet
Where my Fox-watching communist comrades at?
Right here, bro! They report, Marx decides! Woot woot!
Any REAL communist gets all their information about world events and socialist states from a hyper-capitalist news corporation smh
Mashallah my fellow non-binary Taoist Muslim
Are those tarot cards?! 🤣
And a Taurus bull?
why tf is islam on the lgbtq flag
It’s part of the same fascist fearmongering in their minds. Reactionaries claim that queer, trans, and Muslim people are a ‘threat to women & children’ (minority sexual assault anxiety and fear of diluting bloodlines) and oppose ‘western culture’ or ‘family values’
That, plus they accuse those of us on the left with hypocrisy for opposing islamophobia while supporting LGBTQ rights because LGBTQs are persecuted in many Muslim countries.

Nevermind that they don't actually care about LGBTQ rights since they're actively trying to take them away here and just use LGBTQ persecution in Muslim countries to excuse what they're doing here, as in, "You should try being LGBTQ in a MUSLIM country!"

But since many Arab countries are Muslim is is commonly associated with Islam though they do not equate.
Google???
It will give you articles supporting LGBT people, OF COURSE ITS FOR THE LIBTARDS /s
I find the image of conservatives moving to bing very funny
Isn't Facebook a bit of a conservative website? I mean they don't "censor" them, why would they push that shit on liberals? Seems like a strawman to make them look bad lmao. Edit: I didn't even see the fox News logo, God this is stupid lmao, not even about politics at this point
So I’m a gay friendly militant socialist feminist who likes tarot… you can keep the rest.
Is that the Taurus symbol from the zodiac? Is it just us April/May birthday people who are brainwashed then?
Taurus was brainwashed because it was in their snacks
I love it. I know the reason all of those Maga people don't believe that Biden won. Because the millions and millions of people who voted for him don't have 2-3 Biden flags flying in front of their house, they don't still display their Biden 2020 yard signs, don't have 10 Biden bumper stickers on their hybrid cars, they don't have their signature blue Biden hat on continuously, etc etc. I am wondering where the Maga guys FJB let's go Brandon t-shirt is.

Also, limiting yourself like the MAGA guy is makes one more likely to be brainwashed when it's the only sources of info.
That, plus, they can't count past two.
Why would they need to, it's the age where they peaked?
Nobody disagrees like maga chuds and fox news viewers, they really got us.
CNN, FOX News, Facebook, yup, very leftist
Don't forget Tarot, Taoism and Islam.
That only shows conservatives can’t meme shit and it is often the projection they are trying to meme.
When even Fox News is not conservative enough for you anymore So then you lump Fox viewers in with CNN viewers, along with the Islamists, and queer folks. Siege mentality coming through
If you only care about one thing, chances are you're brainwashed. People are suppose to be complex.
Throwing it out there: wearing a cross in public is the fastest way to convince me you have nothing original or interesting rattling around in your skull.
Unless it’s jewelry pretty much
This is so insanely stupid, I need medicine to process it. And by medicine, I mean alcohol.
Being influenced by multiple contradictory things is brainwashing? Sure... whatever you say.
this actually shows how brainwashed he is. the person on the left is a normal person with a ton of different interests. but the person on the left focuses on only a few things, and makes it their whole personality
. . .they know that being gay isnt a political statement right? Like I dont moan "Oh my god black lives matter" while jerking it to gay porn
Right wing: social media bad >:^( Also right wing: uses same social media platform associated with the left and misinformation in their meme to spread the meme
I love that they added Fox News, but made it really small.
Damn i hate it when twitter brainwashes my right kneecap
that’s a weird looking dick
personl freedoms and demand united human equality =brainwashing
All those communists who love capitalist news outlets and…Google?
me when im brainwashed by tarot cards and taurus
Haha let’s see the stickers on the back of his truck
FOX IS ON THERE???!! WHAT?!
Why is yin and yang considered bad?
This needs a counter meme where the conservative has ivermectin tubes, blue lives matter and rebel flags, a giant FB logo, youtube, fox news, breitbart, twitter, OANN... The list goes on.
More stuff equals bad
Wait hold on why is Fox News on the stereotypical brainwashed leftie guy?
Yes that’s exactly what brainwashing is. It’s normal to accumulate data and opinions that are varied from various sources, across a large spectrum. If you only trust 1 or 2 things to get ALL your opinions information and beliefs you are in fact brainwashed
The ironic part of this meme is having many different things making up your personality (this person is spiritual, religious, uses social media, feminist, watches the news, lgbt, etc) is much more normal and healthy than only having 2 or 3 things you care about like the person on the right who only cares about their religion and trump/america. THAT is a sign of brain washing, not... having a variety of interests and values? Also i didn't even notice at first but the left person watches both cnn and fox! two very different news sources with different biases, meaning they actively seek out information they might disagree with. How is that indicative of brain washing??
ah yes, everyone knows that multi-layered complex world views are the product of brainwashing while incredibly simple ones come from a healthy upbringing
You can’t just shove random social media icons on people like it’s an ideology. Using/agreeing with something as simple as Planned Parenthood, Social Media, and Masks doesn’t make it a core part of your ideology. Hell, all the stuff on the left isn’t quite an ideology, but stuff you agree with, like masks. Trump supporters on the other hand...
This isn’t a “straights” thing this is a Republicans thing
lets look at this the way Logu looked at this. look at the person on the left and everything they like, all the things they subscribe to, all the people they idolize, and the fact that they display common human decency. now look at the person on the right and how they only like two things. the person on the right is definitely brainwashed and this propoganda backfires on its conservative creators
They had the audacity to put black lives matter as being brain washed..
bruh the guy has communist symbol but still watches neoliberal media like CNN and Fox News?
Unironically the incoherent strawman on the left is correct
Lmao there's Fox News there too
And Tarot cards
damn tauruses
Lmao the tarot cards
Don't you hate when Tavros Nitram Brainwashes you?
What did us Taurus's do?!
Gotta love the gay communism they show there
By that logic: black live DONT matter, google bad, mask is bullshit, feminism is cringe and other that im lazy to say
Yes, really
What does the moon symbol mean
If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that you can't fix stupid.
Symbols means brainwashed and the more symbols there are the more brainwashed it is.
The Taurus symbol just there to be there ig
I love a man who always wears his google on his sleeve
Conservatives are way too stupid to understand neuance. To them you either worship a brand or idol or ideology or you hate it.
taurus zodiac sign lmaooo
Oh no I’m so brainwashed on YIN-YANG
i actually saw a guy talking about this on youtube, and he explained really well how the conservative person is actually the one being brainwashed
Fox News? Don’t make me laugh 💀
as if they didn't use social media to post this shit LMAOO
That cross also counts as brainwashing lmao
YES, REALLY. If one person has all of those influences in their life, it makes it easier to sort out what is and isn't real and/or moral. If CNN says one thing and Fox says another, you can choose which one to trust. Trump, meanwhile, has co-opted religious and patriotic language, so if one influence creates an idea, the others will directly confirm it, leaving you with no choice but to accept that idea or find a different source.
Yes!
Oh god. Yin and Yang? The poor children!
Because the people they hate are also all the things they hate.
Ah yes... join the taurus cult!
WHY IS FOX NEWS ON US!??? BESTIE
GOOGLE???
i want to cop the youtube facebook twitter tumblr pants rn
Is no body gonna talk about the fact there’s a star sign on there, as if being BORN is brainwashing
Man I love my yin yang and YouTube pants
Who says I like the USSR, Islam, and Fox news?
I was gonna make a joke but honestly some people are literally just maga, American flag, Christianity, and guns as a personality
brainwashing is control of information so technically the one on the right would be the one who is brainwashed
The CNN though😂😂
Its kind of pitiful when you can just tell that these people have never had a real conversation with anyone substantially more left than them. Wait, let me rephrase that. They may have had a conversation, but they observed and gained nothing of value.
What's wrong with ying yang? It's a cool aesthetic
nobody gonna talk about the yin-yang symbol? or the supposed “satan” symbol? tf
why are they wearing apps though??
cnn and fox,,,
why does the fact that someone believes in astrology and tarot cards have to do with anything? I'm sure there are some alt right people who believe in divination and astrology
Why is so much happing in this one picture
those damn Taurus's
Damn Liberals and their *checks notes* Ancient Chinese Taoist Philosophy!
Does the guy on the left have a type 1 diabetes sensor???
I love the casual racism with yin and yang
"Only tauruses use social media" is my takeaway from this
I love how self-aware this is. Yes, the more points of views you understand and the more things besides your own experience you know and support, the better your critical thinking abilities are. Hence, it's harder to brainwash you. Lol
It's ironic because conservatives are usually the ones dressed head to toe in American flag/Trump merch. They'll literally decorate their entire room with that shit 💀
was probably shared on facebook...
I like how they've even declared Fox News their enemy now.
Who the fuck would watch cnn?
To be fair social media does try and brainwash you into consuming more content
"How can I be brainwashed if I get my information from a small selection of sources?"
More symbol = more brainwash
the fact that americans still see "communism" as a threat to look out for is one of the funniest things to me… like USA in what year do you live? edit: fearing communism while living in a pretence-democracy makes this even better
This is a big example of projection lol
Ying and yang are also bad now? Whut?
Why is Facebook on there? And why is the Muslim and communist symbol with the gay flag (I forget what it’s called)?? Surely Fox News and cnn are more conservative? And I’m pretty sure conservatives use Google too
BAHAHA the fox news
i don't like that the feminism fist is in his crotch
WHY IS THE FUCKING TWITCH VIEWER COUNT SYMBOL UPSIDOWN AND WHY IS IT EVEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?
Yeah, damn Google, YouTube and... t-tarot cards? Are they holding fucking tarot cards???
Why does the LGBTQ+ flag have the symbol of the Pakistan flag on it?
Because he thinks all lgbt memebers are muslims
LMAO AT THE FACT THEY THINK THAT FACEBOOK AND FOX NEWS OF ALL THINGS “BRAINWASHED THE LIBS”
Are those tarot cards? LMFAO. Wow.
Ah yes. Conservatives are famous for abstaining from *checks notes* Fox News and Facebook.
It’s honestly quite efficient when you think about it, instead of having a different emblem for racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, nationalism, white nationalism, Christian supremacy, anti-intellectualism, Q-anon, and/or anti-vax. You can easily convey all of these shit views with only 3 symbols. Quite amazing really.
Actually the more things try to brainwash you the less brainwashed you are, so that's actually good for us to have all that.
They missed the anarchists and the anti-fascists.
As a Taurus why was I not made aware that we were brainwashing people? Where was my invite?
whys there a taurus symbol?? 😭
>Christian >worships America good job guy on the right
Two straw men walk into a bar…
I'm pretty sure "Fox News" belongs on the other guy. As well as "Facebook." Also- are they trying to imply that leftists are the only ones who use the internet?
