We're the good guys, they're the bad guys. Isn't it?

Sometimes the bad guys have skulls on their caps and it's really just that black and white simple.

Sometimes, but not usually

Using imfglip and linking to it instead of hosting the image somewhere (Lemmy? Imgbb?) definitely makes you one of the baddies.

Also there's several variations of this meme that you could have used that don't use a violent abusers image. Like a similar one with Geordi LaForge from Star Trek.

drake is a violent abuser?

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I think they've mixed up Drake, the rapper, and Drake Bell, the actor. Though the two look nothing alike, so maybe I've missed some news report.

What's wrong with linking to imgflip ?

[–] rbhfd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

For me (using Jerboa), it automatically opens in an external browser instead of just opening the image in app.

Other apps might not have this issue though. Not sure why OP made the remark.

[–] YashaB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sorry, I did not know that. Won`t happen again.

This isn't limited to lemmy users.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Beef Stroganoff.

While there's definitely some of that going on, the people I usually see complaining about this kind of thing are not interested in the fair exchange of ideas. Rather, they're upset that one of their dumb opinions got made fun of in a public forum.

yeah, im this 🤏 close to unsubscribing from any news related communities. the comments are mostly repetitive circle-jerks and antagonistic in-fighting. it's really affecting my time on here.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The top part of the meme is actually a reason I like instances that don't defederate from other instances. It allows me to see what those I disagree with and/or just don't like might be saying/thinking at a certain period.

no you dont understand!!! my opinion is correct, and anyone who dares to question it is automaticay one of the bad guys!!!!

[–] YashaB@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You are mistaken. MY opinion is the truth, always.

[–] McBain@feddit.ch 9 points 2 years ago

Actually, you're both wrong.

[–] clayt@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

it's simple, the guys I like are the good ones, and the ones I don't are bad.

My favourite part of Lemmy is seeing enlightened centrists posting to Lemmy.ml thinking it’ll be sympathetic to any other ideology than socialism/communism.

I used to feel that way but man, after the 20th time in a row that someone either calling for nuance or unity with questionable individuals ended up being some sort of malefactor with an evil agenda has me completely burnt on thinking that way. You just have to accept that some people are irredeemable and not worth dealing with, and replace them with those who are actually out there for your best interests.

Whenever someone posts this sort of vague "people aren't tolerating my ideas" post, nine-times-outta-ten, the ideas in question are just awful.
