One common thing I've noticed about leftists is that they try to take right wing insults and turn them against right wingers. The problem is that this practice is almost always inherently illogical and contradictory.
For example, in the heyday of the NPC-meme, these people would desperately, in 10 paragraphs, try to disprove the "NPC-theory" and the existence of NPC's with all their might - only to turn around and say "Trump voters are the REAL NPC's". You've spent an hour trying to undermine the basis of your argument...your argument was disarmed by yourself before it was even made.
The same goes for the word "cuck". I see leftists trying to turn this back on right wingers all the time. But as a leftist, you're likely to see cuckoldry as just another fetish one should show tolerance and acceptance for, and that hating cuckoldry is a sign of "toxic masculinity". So what power do you expect that insult has coming from you?
It all reminds me of that lefty cartoon that featured a picture of a jacked guy with a testosterone-shirt and the caption "the new face of the republican party"
Yeah pretty much. Left can't meme because memes require original thought and creativity. If you submit constantly to leftist authority you have no mental energy to come up with your own ideas.
Cameron Cruz
Haha "snowflake" is another great example. How could they possible try to turn that around on right wingers when they've spent years defending the core root of that insult (safe-spaces in colleges). "Go back to your safe space trumptards" - you like safe spaces and think they're legitimate, remember
Angel Gutierrez
>just noticing this now This has been going one since at least the snowflake meme. You can be guaranteed that any meme the right makes gets thrown back at them in flimsy manner. A liberal once said something absurd and I said I disagree and they called me a snowflake simply for disagreeing. This is what they do.
Kayden Foster
Also the lefts entire debate and argument strategy these days is false equivalencies and not refuting something you claim and instead just demonize something you might support. They love taking something you say and flipping it back on you that makes up 80% of their debate strategies.
Hunter Bennett
Leftists have absolutely no shame. Other than that I have absolutely no idea what recycling right wing memes serve except that they’ve thought policed themselves into a corner. Fags, lol.
Cooper Miller
>called me a snowflake simply for disagreeing Audibly keked over here.
Parker Stewart
this is the best thread here right now. Everyone should read this instead of the race baiting and pretending to be retarded threads.
Nicholas Walker
I think it goes back to a conflict between their intuition and their conditioning. They'll call a right winger "beta" two seconds after having explained that the alpha/beta dynamic is outdated and that masculinity needs to be redefined so that men can cry and be pussies.
They intuitively know that being a weak, unmanly man is a bad thing so that's where the insult comes from, but they don't realize that the insult is being invalidated by their own opinions right out of the gate.
quite a fascinating mental somersault
Hudson Fisher
I notice that. Sometimes before you even say anything they'll immediately be like "what's the matter snowflake cuck npc? You need a safe space?" That's how you know it's getting to them.
Isaiah Parker
Yeah I think these insults have gotten to them and caused them some mental pain and that they want to reflect this pain back on right wingers, completely forgetting to calibrate the insult with their own views and the persona of the person they're attacking
Thomas Lewis
they aren't creative. most leftists have operated in a hugbox so long that they can analyze problems dynamically. they see something that works so they attempt to hijack it. I think that's why the NPC meme struck such a nerve. they had no intelligible response because it was so pathetically true and like NPCs they just copied and repeated it, without understanding that just fueled it further.
the left can't meme because they live in a world of black and white. you're either a with them or you're literally Hitler. everything is framed in those terms. they have no ability to sympathize with others who are ideological different from them. if they were to do that the cogitative dissonance would cause a massive crisis in their belief system.
The great thing about mirror tactics is that if you know how they work, and your argument is superior, you can always, ALWAYS, find a poetic flaw in the reasoning of an imperfect mirror. Always.
Chase Edwards
Not really because filing off the numbers of right wing ideas and memes and then redistributing them is still distributing right wing ideas and memes.
NPC meme is pure crystallized dissonance. If I didn't know any better I'd say the composition next to PUA material was an attempt to recreate mind control methodologies on a population wide basis.
Easton Gomez
I've been called a "testosterone-fuelled gymbro" by a lefty girl. Okay, so I'm a masculine guy who works out a lot? Wow that's such an impactful insult to someone who obviously likes being masculine and going to the gym. They need to get to know their audience.
Jack Ortiz
>the left can't meme because they live in a world of black and white Memes (in the Jow Forums sense) arise as pushback against the dominant narrative. When you ARE the dominant narrative--when 99% of the mainstream media pushes your line--you're ill-equipped in every way for memery. It's the same way Soviet dissidents and Chinese internet culture produce memorable memes, while the regime produces little.
Isaac Howard
This is a subset of "whataboutism," which has been the go-to rhetorical tactic of the Left since at least the Soviet era. When confronted with a criticism of the Left, rather than address the argument, they immediately try to point out how you are somehow guilty of the same thing. And they usually engage in truly amazing feats of mental gymnastics in drawing false equivalences.
Stalinist policies killed millions? You hang negros! Academics are pushing anti-white racism? It's because whites are racist! It is essentially a glib version of "no u." Or, as Goebbels put it, they always cry out in pain as they strike you.
Nolan Evans
But if this is a safe space, why are you allowed to post?
They don't understand what the words they use mean, they only see them as >generic insult #3 so they end up using them at random in their writing, only to come off as a bunch of retards. For example, they seem to have an unhealthy obsession with labeling anyone who disagrees with them (And can articulate that disagreement in a calm and reasonable way) a snowflake, not understanding why we started using that term to begin with. I'll see them unironically respond to someone pointing out their hypocritical ways with >LOL DEAL WITH IT SNOWFLAKE!! TRIGGERED! hahaha! It only sharpens my hatred for them, they're too stupid to understand why they're stupid.
Alexander Ross
the left can meme, but their memes are industrial/propaganda grade
their memes are based on either falsehoods or exaggerations and only gain steam because they are enforced by big media and other corporations
examples of left wing memes >islamophobia >white privilege/fragility >language policing: illegal alien becomes undocumented immigrant or just "migrant"
what they can't do is control the conversation with their thoughts, their movement has been thoroughly subverted at this point and is basically just an arm of global corporatism, acting as a mouthpiece for whatever is useful for the global elite and being silenced if they ever approach the "wrong direction" (like Occupy Wall Street)
Liberals have forced themselves into a box because of identity politics. They are utterly useless and unfunny >it’s why even a Jew like Seinfeld won’t do stand up comedy in liberal college towns
Nolan Cox
They have no choice but to throw everything back at the right. They are not capable of creating viral and funny attacks against the right that are even a quarter as good, so they have to copy.
The reason they do this is obvious, part of them knows it doesn't make sense but the culture war is so hot that it's actually more about rhetoric and persuasion than truth. If you clown on somebody with a hilarious meme that does more damage than a long written treatise on why the other side is wrong. The culture war is 100% about optics and social media/cultural penetration, and they know it. That's why conservative social media is being deplatformed, they are so outclassed when it comes to generating memes and content that the head kikes have literally spent billions researching/creating/disseminating content and they still get BTFO over and over by memers on Jow Forums. Their only defense is to shut it down and copy rightwing memes and lines of attack.
We are holding our own against billions of dollars and the entire fuckin establishment, they are throwing everything they have and it's still a dirty fuckin slugfest. Be proud and never stop shitposting, ever.
Lefties are always always always guilty of what they accuse you of. This is a foundation stone of their ideology; to project guilt at the enemy, often pre-emptively in efforts to get ahead of investigations and to try and sway public opinion.
you know the insults are effective because when they turn them around on me i get super pissed. that might just be from the fact that they misuse them or they call me a snowflake while crying about trump.
Jordan Miller
the meme they cherish and still think is the pinnacle of humor is baby trump pictures. it's actually pathetic.
Carter Torres
i like how they take any Jow Forums insult that is directed at straight white males like 'neckbeard', or 'incel' and as part of their vernacular but have to reject the other 90% as too offensive, as the target of ridicule is not a straight white male
Oliver Rodriguez
hahhaah yea democrats are the real racists am I right magapedes?
Cognitive dissonance personified. Do you not recognize the paradox in crying racism every 3 seconds only to attack only white people? Are you retarded or in denial?
Adam Ramirez
Leftists are npc's npc's by definition can not meme
>We are holding our own against billions of dollars and the entire fuckin establishment The truth is pretty powerful stuff, that's why they have to make saying true things illegal.
Jackson Perez
It legitimately proves they're npc's because they really can't think for themselves

Evan Hill
>makes a butthurt wall of text because he was called a cuck on reddit it's just a meme you dip. people will use these insults because they're fun to use. you claiming r9k, tv or reddit memes doesn't prevent other people using them
Bentley Fisher
Way to prove based OP correct.
Josiah Sullivan
The left can't meme.... because.... they have no amusing truths to spin humor with.
Parker Howard
A funny example of misfired leftist insults in Swedish: Leftists have come up with a new moniker for the Sweden Democrats: "nyss-nazister" it's a play on words, the word for neo-nazi is "ny-nazister", "nyss" means "recently"/ "just a minute ago"/"just then". So they're walking around calling the Sweden Democrats "Recently-Nazis" thinking they're oh so clever. The problem with this is of course that they've been calling the Sweden Democrats straight up Nazis for 15 years. Calling them "nyss-nazister" implies that they were recently Nazis but aren't anymore...it actually ends up being a retreat from their previous position. I asked a leftist who used this term "recently-nazis, so you're saying they're not Nazis anymore?" and they got super flustered.
Colton Thomas
It's mostly used to point out the hypocrisy of alt right idiots and how they're basically a mirror image of sjw crazies.
Sorry if it offends you snowflake, go back to your safe space etc.
Chase Roberts
The NPC meme isn't just a joke, it's real. Leftists are so devoid of creativity and independent thought that they are forced to repurpose memes created by actual people. This is also why they have such an obsession with being "le creative" and "arts", they long for things they know they will never have.
Wyatt Ramirez
there's still hope for /pol.
Noah Ramirez
>getting cucked by trump is the BEST kind of cuckoldry, let me tell you...
Dominic Sanders
Don't forget that most professional "memes" are leftist (movies, tv, etc.)
Two consequences: 1. Those most susceptible to propaganda are more likely to be leftist. 2. There's no need for them to engage in their own creative works.
But as a leftist you likely think safe spaces are a great idea to have on campus for students who feel oppressed or whatever. You would also likely defend the students who want to go to these safe spaces when they are attacked by right wingers calling them snowflakes. So why on earth would I be insulted by you saying that? You're trying to insult me by making fun of something you yourself support and using a word you've probably campaigned against. I know logic isn't the left's strongest suit but you'd have to be an imbecil not to see the inherent problem in that.
Noah Jones
You're only damaging your own perception by thinking of it like that. You miss the person.
Chase Reed
Get a life.
Matthew Reyes
Finally I know what reddit spacing is. Thank you for that educational image, Amerifren. I do wonder why it's associated with reddit, though.
They arent allowed to think much less say anything genuinely subversive. They cant be surprising. Surprise is the essense of humor. They cant be funny.
Oliver Morales
>they can't smell Are there people with a "mind's nose"?
ikr, like pedobear can be repurpaced as 18 is the correct age of consent bear. Trump is such a bafoon.

That wasn’t the point, retard. The whole concept of flipping a meme to mock the other side has been a thing for ages, eg. “I AM SILLY”, but you shitdicks never seemed to realize that until the fucking NPC meme showed up.
Jace Robinson
>For example, in the heyday of the NPC-meme, these people would desperately, in 10 paragraphs, try to disprove the "NPC-theory" and the existence of NPC's with all their might - only to turn around and say "Trump voters are the REAL NPC's".

because you retards thought its a real psychological phenomenon meaning there's real people with no sentience and when you were proven wrong and backpedaled to "i-i-its just saying you blindly repeat talking points" which describes you
>So what power do you expect that insult has coming from you?
because you're obviously insanely insecure about upholding gender norms, its leftist its going to bother less
Elijah Perry
lol no
Mason Gomez
>But as a leftist you likely think safe spaces are a great idea to have on campus for students who feel oppressed or whatever. You would also likely defend the students who want to go to these safe spaces when they are attacked by right wingers calling them snowflakes. No I wouldn't
This might be worldshattering for you but people on the left have a whole spectrum of different beliefs from moderate to full on crazy, just like the right.
Zachary Rivera
...And? Care to elaborate on why you don’t agree with me? Or are you content just making cherry-picked strawmen?
Matthew Ross
Snowflake is a terrible insult because leftists are more like rabid dogs than delicate snowflakes.
The constant whining of the leftist is just part of their passive-aggressive activism.
Lincoln White
>we don't steal your memes >y-you're just stupid and insecure Like pottery.
>I've been called a "testosterone-fuelled gymbro" by a lefty girl. >Okay, so I'm a masculine guy who works out a lot? The only excuse is that this is a new pasta. kys faggot
