I mean, I some reason get unreasonably annoyed by the idea that people tie the dog meme into the organization musk chose to use it for. Musks shitty plans... are musk related, blame paypal, or emerald buyers or something else... if the doge meme never existed we'd be dealing with the same shit... just under a different name.
Yeah, it's not the meme's fault it was used by awful people
Same with the swastika and a bunch of other symbols. Yet what can you do
The Nazis are taking our memes...
All Nazi symbols are appropriated 👌
It's bad enough when a meme gets driven into the ground, but it's even worse when it's being driven into the ground by such incredibly shitty and cringey people. It's gross seeing such an iconic image used in association with garbage like "the department of government efficiency".
The pictures aren't the reason, the nazi is.
Such a tiny dog.
Like the Nazi coopted a tiny puppy.
A stupid billionaire is obsessed with an extremely small dog.
Like the Nazi coopted a tiny puppy.
I mean... the last major nazi takeover co-opted a symbol of good fortune, that seems to go back 4000-12000 years.
