not a shot at you here xyz but it really does amaze me that a war criminal committed suicide on live feed and now its just another meme
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 6 February 2020 bookmarkflaglink
It was quite a day when I saw news of the suicide to twitter wide meme in a few hours, and then found myself laughing through it all.
He was a fascist though so good not bad.

we have had to move pretty quickly to find ways to make all of the available things happening on the internet processable and balance the "real"/"not necessarily relevant to me" mental load
part of the manifestation of this is fascist-war-criminal-suicide meme cycles shortening, most of the rest is less good

I mean, even a bit has an opinion but the only actually "bad" ex-boyfriend is weed-only dude, who also seems to be the one she misses the most so the badness still reflects back on her attitudes/choices?

I’m not sure the onion piece is making fun of bernie bros. I think it might be making fun of the flimsiness of the construct, and the kind of person who would see other people through that lens.
But I don’t know.

Yeah, DJP OTM. None of those guys are misogynist trolls with a persecution complex taking down Kamala Harris or whatever.
Also, everyone, including ilxors, used "bro" in a positive way for a while about 10 years ago.

The piece I posted earlier is possibly satire (so the bit about Pussy Riot is a giveaway rather than an inaccuracy). It was the reaction to the piece more than anything that got me to post it.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 7 February 2020 14:35 (four years ago) link
I just think it’s bad to conflate something as meaningless like playing ultimate frisbee or liking jam bands with being a misogynist. It makes it seem like being a “good liberal” is more about style—a certain sense of sophistication—then substance.
― treeship., Friday, 7 February 2020 14:37 (four years ago) link
The way people use “bro” that is. No one needs this caricature. Also there is a secondary level where it is pathologizing male camaraderie when actually male loneliness is the bigger issue—especially if people are sick of men only turning to women for emotional labor.
― treeship., Friday, 7 February 2020 14:40 (four years ago) link

It’s not like being isolated, ironic, above it all and on social media 24/7 is such a great lifestyle. Maybe brooklynites could learn a thing or two from bros.
