i think sometimes it’s worth critiquing memes for the rhetorical impact rather than raw arguing power

if you wanted a watertight meme that perfectly describes your argument, you’re right, this isn’t it.

but if you want an emotionally jarring meme that encourages debate and spreads awareness of the disturbing nature of american justice, i’d say this has acheived that goal looking at these comments :)

i’m still working this position as a shitposter but i’d say this is at least an A- tier meme in that a) it’s factual (not outright false), and b) it encourages active discussion and awareness of issues in the comments.

This would have been a good point if lemmy wasn't packed with idiots praising USSR as heaven on Earth.

To be fair, it's been a lot better lately. Not sure if defederations happened or they just became less brazen when they saw most people don't care for their bullshit. Probably both.
