Liberals Can’t Meme: Nordstream Example

It’s easy to spot a Liberal attempt at meme-crafting. The major giveaway is they’re scared to use metaphor or hyperbole; anything they say that can be intentionally misinterpreted by a peer in the Hive, is a weapon against them. Thus, the Lefty tries to either go Full Autistic or meaningless bafflegarble.

This meme turned up on Western Rifle Shooters. I don’t know its origin but am confident it’s “left of Drumph”.

The quick giveaway is that it literally calls out anybody who disagrees, retarded. Who does that, I wonder?

Then there’s a total lack of metaphor, symbology or… anything artistic. It’s a wall of text with an image of Putin giggling. Zero chance of a Narrative violation.

But sure, let’s entertain the idea that the author might have a point. What if the Nordstream sabotage really was a Russian effort?

1.Russia destroying Nordstream is terrible for Russian revenue. Revenue is why Russia built Nordstream in the first place, and now they’re not even ABLE to sell gas in Europe… at a time when prices are sky-high!

Was NATO not paying attention to what the Russian Navy was doing offshore of Sweden?

2. The only reason people might believe Putin blaming USA for such an act, is because USA has a very long habit of doing exactly such things. (Syria says hello.) Also, because Biden said in February that he’d destroy the Nordstreams. If Russia did what America threatened America would do, then frankly, America’s got no reason to complain about being framed for it.

Also frankly, if America threatened to do it then it wasn’t because they were secretly trying to help Russia.

3. “Putin gets to play the innocent victim”, ah, what sweet projection. Russia IS an innocent victim. Its special military operation came at the end of eight years’ provocation, the last straw being Ukraine joining NATO which would have put Moscow within blitzkrieg range, then when the limited invasion began… and it WAS limited, civilian infrastructure was mostly unharmed… all of NATO tried to destabilize Russia’s economy and headhunt its financial leaders. (Very strange behavior, that last bit. Very informative, too.)

And lastly, Putin can already do anything he wants vis a vis Europe. Russia just got the green light from all four of the referendums it just held in the Donbas.

It’s USA that is desperate to always be the prettiest whore. We always have to look like the good guy even as the world watches ten percent go to the Big Guy.

I don’t defend Putin because I’m a Russophile, or am paid to, or am trying to impress somebody, or am working some angle. I defend Putin because the truth is, Putin didn’t do this sabotage. If he had then I’d blame him just as quickly. Putin doesn’t matter. USA doesn’t matter. Memes don’t matter. Only the truth matters.

And there’s a lot of truth in that! (Also sourced from WRS.)

Explaining memes to a liberal is like explaining honesty to a Communist. They’ll never learn because they don’t want to learn. Liberals see art as a weapon, something that winners do to losers. That’s why they can’t create, can’t be happy, can’t be curious, can’t change over time, can’t be tolerant, can’t salvage Star Wars and can’t meme.
