Me in 2015 reddit in the_Donald Subreddit thought they were shitposting sarcasm but no. It was a coordinated Russian intelligence campaign to fuck with retarded voters
r/the_donald used to be hilarious. Right up until it became serious.
It started that way. Then a large contingent of shit stains showed up not realizing it was a joke and agreed with everything.
There was a moderator coup. Reddit admins deliberately flipped it and immediately started banning anyone going “wait…you’re serious?”
Me in 2023 learning about tankies through Lemmy.
Me learning about tankies with my father (who isn’t even United-Statian (I refuse to call them Americans, America is an continent.))
Citizens of USA are Americans, but likewise are citizens of Mexico, Honduras and Paraguay
You’re going to confuse Americans who are taught America is two different continents: North and South (difference with the Latin culture).
Since you appear to be from France, I will just point out the hilarious hypocrisy and ignorance of suggesting that North and South America, which are separated by no less than three different tectonic plate boundaries, are the same continent, while living in “Europe”, which hasn’t been tectonically separated from “Asia” for hundreds of millions of years.
You should reflect on that.
Here it is. As I hinted above, conventional continent boundaries are cultural, not scientific. Have a look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent#Number
Indeed, though if you actually look at the page for “Europe”, you’ll see that nobody can even agree on where the “cultural” boundary is anymore, because it’s a spectrum. You posted your stupendously condescending comment as if there’s a “right” way to classify continents, and the poor, uneducated citizens of the USA would be so confused at hearing your objectively-correct stance. The way you said it was offensively patronising, and “Europe” has nowhere to talk, because Europe doesn’t rightfully exist in any consistently-delineated way, because the “cultural” nature of “Europe” isn’t some homogeneous block, and the only thing those cultural spectra can agree on is that they don’t agree on the delineation. Anyone using the word “continent” nowadays is wrong, because it’s a dated, arbitrary moniker which serves only to continue Eurocentric cultural hegemony and try to divide humanity. Gatekeeping it and using it as a way to mock hundreds of millions of people, though? That’s just weird
You’re are over interpreting a lot. I was simply expecting some American to come on and say America is two continents because that’s what you are taught, just as Latin culture people are taught it’s one continent. I saw this play before. I’m not saying one is better than the other. By the way, it’s not a Europe thing, UK people are told the same as North Americans, it’s probably its origin. You could try asking for explanations before jumping to the agressive interpretation.
Same here. I learned about Flat Earthers, and assumed they were sarcastic, like Birds aren’t Real. Took me two years of occasionally coming across their shit to realize they were serious. I was flabbergasted.
That’s when I started to understand how stupid people can be. They can be all the stupid, and in unsettling numbers.
May i introduce you to antivaxxers
and/or sovereign citizens (this venn diagram has a lot of overlap)
Yea yea birds aren’t real we all know that. But have you ever gotten really close to a bird? Like close enough to tell if it has dimension? NO. OBVIOUSLY BIRDS ARE FLAT!
I think birds aren’t real is starting to be taken seriously, too.
More like the techbros took inspiration…
I think the birds aren’t real people have it all wrong.
Given the level of technology needed to make anything fly, how are we supposed to believe in the original organic “birds” to begin with?
Clearly it’s just a distraction from the real harsh truth.By Proxy: Brains aren’t real

There’s a subreddit called TrumpZone or something like that that I joined because of all the over the top bootlicking memes. It took a few days before I realized that the memes weren’t being posted ironically and the members really were batshit crazy.
have you tried being batshit crazy though?
it’s a lot of fun, as you may have briefly noticed. a lot more fun than being normie
Didn’t r/TheDonald start out ironic and then slowly mutate into being unironic.
Same for r/MURICA. Sad case, it used to be really funny.
Female… shitposter?
Fake and gay
It’s still gay if they have a dick right

You must be new here
New to jokes too
This might not be the right community for you
I wonder how flat earthers explain it’s winter here in S. America and summer in Europe, at the same time.
We are but a spinning plate in the grand cosmic microwave oven of the universe
… explain?
Piss off with you pro-establishment crap.
I think it was either a Miniminuteman or a Folding Ideas video that showed what some flatties proposed: the Sun moves in a wacky repeating spiral pattern above the surface. It’s closer to the Arctic during summer and to the Antarctic during winter, which they claim to explain the different angles of incidence. Obviously that doesn’t conform to any physical laws… observed phenomena… ideas that a person of ordinary intelligence might come up with… their own models of flat Earth… but flatties are nothing if not persistent in their dogmatic rejection of reality.
I imagine it is like moving a lamp over a table. Closer parts have summer and further away parts have winter.
Which is pretty funny because in the northern hemisphere during January, the sun is closest to us. It’s our axial tilt that drives the winter, being tilted further away in winter.
But God forbid they learn some actual fucking science 😂
earth moves around the sun. moving a table over a lamp.
I’m sure there’s both types of flat earthers.
jeffs and steves?
very easily:
The earth is flat; it’s just space that’s curved.
Their worldview is heavily built around Christian magic nonsense: The sky is a dome (firmament). Gravity doesn’t exists, it’s just buoyancy. They probably assume wind currents change and blow the cold off the icewall surrounding the world edge…
They think earth is flat and space is 3d
A lot of groups take advantage of shitposters in this way. Oh woe is me.
This is why i dont like or support shit posting. FAR TOO MANY people simply can not understand.
They said, while participating in a community about 4chan posts.
Poe’s law
Flat-earth shitposters and actual flat-earthers may have their differences, but at least they can all agree that Apollo 11 was staged
Of course it was staged. That’s how rockets work.
…did the friend know too?
This is why in many native cultures they stay away from being sarcastic. They’ve learned that it can be harmful to a society and they have the empathy to not want to make certain people who are out of the loop feel dumb
Wdym by native cultures? I’m from a native culture that is known for our sarcasm in humour, not sure if you mean something else by that.
they mean they make up random shit on the internet because it makes them feel superior to whitey. likely being whitey themselves, but not like those other whiteys who are so sarcastic and cultural destructive, no sir.
Eyefish lense?
Anon surely meant fisheye lens
Took me longer than I care to admit to figure that out. Heh.
Eyefish lence.
If you don’t spell it right the government can track you.
After reading the comments I’m glad I’m not alone
wasn’t that 4chan in general, it’s fun to post far right memes and jokes until the actual far right shows up and doesn’t know the difference
Mostly started very quickly in 2015.
I wonder how hard it is to infiltrate and influence an anonymous message board.
Considering trends are started by a single dedicated schizo I’d say not hard. I’m pretty sure one very dedicated person made fit and beyond believe onions boosted test.
…am I having a stroke? What does that last sentence mean?
Are your serious or have you never drawn fit from of root? Lol
