Ladies and gentlemen: Director of the FBI
The guy looks perpetually scared that MAGA is going to notice he isn't white.
I’m assuming he’s had his thyroid checked but maybe they should check again…
We have the watch? Is that supposed to be a Game of Thrones reference?
The appeal to the manosphere is real.
There's a book I've been meaning to read: Uncivil Agreement by Lilliana Mason.
I've heard it's about how most people should be voting in alignment with their policy beliefs, but when you look at it ... more people vote along with how they choose to be identified with even if it hurts them.
Well, shit. Thats just America... and the UK(among others) in a nutshell.
missing chromosomes doesn't turn you evil
I think it's their physical appearance that is being referred to. Patel looks perpetually surprised and slightly off while Kirk looked like the witch doctor fucked up while shrinking his head.
That's ableism. These people don't look the way they do and don't act they way they do because of any genetic disorder. They also aren't going to fucking see this so the only people being insulted by this are people who are disabled, great job.
We're talking about actual fascists here and you guys are insulting with eugenics and appearance ffs.
Thank you for saying this. We have more than enough reason to shit on these assholes for their actions and rhetoric; there's absolutely no reason to use ableist language.
In a similar vein, I've seen a lot of "weaponized" homophobic language on Lemmy (often in regards to Putin and Trump). Like you say, the only people who get hurt by this are the random queer people who read these comments.
👏👏👏 I am so sick and tired of people claiming "the gloves are coming off" and by "gloves" they mean their slurfilter
"Hrm. Why did only the face shrink? Was the cauldron too hot?"
This is the funniest thing I have read in a long while 😂🤣🤣
You’re using one flavor of bigotry to disparage another flavor of bigots?
On one hand, yeah, not cool.
On the other, it's the kind of shot that just might land in the fanbase of these wankstains. It attacks and smears them in terms their supporters understand. Just pointing out the hypocrisy doesn't work if the audience doesn't care for reasonable argument, but by speaking their language, there's some chance it will get under their skin.
It's a disgusting move in a disgusting fight. There are no winners here, and the best I can hope for is that it'll hit the right people harder than the collateral damage hits the wrong ones.
Isn't the bigoted insult supposed to be extra chromosomes?
Too few or too many usually has the same general effects--ain't good for viability, and if you get past that often an Intellectual Disability. Though I will say that some of the coolest people I know have an Intellectual Disability.
Ableism. What a funny joke dude. Could you explain what specifically they're referring to about missing chromosomes that would make someone a fascist?

So can I ask: is it acceptable to edit this screenshot to not include the ableist part (just crop out the whole Avengers part honestly, it’s not funny anyway) and take out the handles of the posters, and repost? Or is that poor form?
Maybe post it wherever you're going to post it with the first line as the title? Wouldn't want anyone to seek out the original tweet and bring traffic to this guy's ableism, best to pretend it doesn't exist.
Edit: or do that thing that meme reposters do and just put the text over a white background with the original tweet (see below for an example)
Example
(pretend the crayon is a tweet)
Memes are a form of cultural transmission. They're like a type of public art, meant to be freely shared, edited, and otherwise played around with by whoever. It's how memes morph and evolve over time.
All this to say, you can probably go ahead and make the meme yours if you wish.

The US is trying to out-US itself all the time now.
He’s only the director of the FBI, he doesn’t need to be the brightest crayon in the box. Oh wait…
