  • To be fair, you need a very high IQ to understand lefty memes. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of dialectical materialism most of the jokes will go over a typical user's head. There's also the intersectionalist perspective, which is deftly woven into online communities - the horniness draws directly from the old r/196, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about CAPITALISM. As a consequence people who dislike lefty memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the popular characterization of the bourgeoisie as friggin' piggies, which itself is a cryptic reference to 19th century propaganda. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as HappyRoadKill's genius unfolds itself on their phones' screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Karl Marx's tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the femboys' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 points of class consciousness coefficient of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
