For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

You know what's worse than being a basement dweller? It's being unaware that you're vulnerable to propaganda, being unaware that you're an emotional creature and your brain doesn't try to make sense, it tries to connect stories and ideas to explain why you're feeling what you feel.
In other words, you can be a smart person and easily influenced into positions that either are not your own, or not even connected to reality just because you had a feeling once validated by someone saying the right thing at the right time and you don't question the story that you start piecing together in your head.
So the question you would need to always ask yourself, is what is it that you feel that you need to cling to such cynical and hateful stereotypes to the extent of even invalidating or denying the testimony of others who are directly contradicting your obviously exaggerated tales of "listening to hippies talk about jews."
You are describing a personal experience and because it validates some feeling you already had, it feels like a real evaluation of the broader world. Other people who do this include: scientologists, flat-earthers, modern nazis, cult members and generally people who just go through life angry and miserable and blaming that misery on others. Don't be a pawn to others or your own brain, have some control over your narratives.
Wow, what a rational, level-headed response. You sure showed them.
Everyone here thinks you're the reasonable one. We all take you more seriously now.
Something worthwhile like "stfu moron"?
You can't be this un-self-aware.
Actually no, I've seen how you talk. Obviously you are.
You actually think this is convincing literally anyone? Be honest now, I really want to know, do you think you look reasonable to anyone at all here?
Like you can claim that you're the only sane person here all you want, but do you really think this performance is doing anything good?
For what it's worth, I really do think it's good that you're saying this, because it shows anyone who's watching just how vapid, toxic and hateful you are as a representative of the "antifa are the real fascists" crowd.
I think that's projection, and I think anyone reading can see it too.
Really, what did they say?
No no, keep bitching out and showing what a fool you are. It's great.
You said you're not my servant but you really do seem to be obligated to reply, like you apparently can't stop.
