Well, first of all, the meme conflates ‘rude’ with racist (which is weird) so it kind of suggests ‘rude’ is just a stand in for hate speech, so it attributes caring about hate speech and racism to liberalism.
The point of the meme is that liberals care more about hate speech (words as it’s being implied) and racism than killing children. I mean ok, but is it really necessary? On an overwhelmingly white site? It makes me feel extremely uncomfortable, especially when reactionary rhetoric would probably fall along the same lines. And the overlap between people who care about both things is much more significant than this would suggest
Maybe I’m just hysterical or not being charitable. I’m fine being labelled a liberal. Not sure I want to continue the conversation in this thread.
Alright, I see what you’re saying. Thank you for your explanation.
Your interpretation is definitely valid, but definitely not the most forward interpretation likely meant by its creator. I’m not saying you’re incorrect; It’s just the less traveled road. I think the most simple interpretation is just the difference between democrats and republicans really is just the tone of the horrors wrought upon the world. Brash vs respectful. This is probably where disconnects are being made.
Though you are correct. Maybe abstracting out the subject matter a little would’ve been a good idea.
i think it’s a valid interpretation but i absolutely know people who are more concerned that donald trump threatened to rename lake ontario than they are that the united states has been doing genocide in various places for 400 years. a lot of those people also don’t really seem to care about the hate speech, except if they can turn it into a gotcha about him being technically incorrect about something minor
So I think I see what your interpretation is now. The meme is trying to point out that American liberals are more concerned about respectability and appearances rather than not doing racist things. The Democrats have no problems bombing foreign children. What they don’t like is openly admitting that the government is doing it for racist reasons. But the leftist perspective is that it doesn’t if the government is doing war crimes in a “tasteful” manner since the end result is the same to those being killed.
The point is that Trump isn’t doing anything different than Obama, Biden, or GWB did, he is just openly admitting that he is doing it for racist reasons. Liberals had no issue with bombing Yemen when Obama was doing it, or with aiding Israel do genocide on Palestine, they only took umbridge with it once the government openly stated they were doing it for racist reasons.
