Microblog Memes

To be fair, we do put rapists in there.

Americans love their prison rape & not policing their inmates competently to enable more prison rape.

How is that implied? Did I miss some text? Most people seem to agree that this is what the meme is about.

"It's okay if bad things happen to other people"

-USA in a nutshell

Remember when their military industrial complex was ravaging through Asia and middle east and people back home were like "Thank you for your service"?

People there are spineless cowards who cling to their made up "superiority" on backs of genocide, slavery, and exploitation all while marketing themselves as land of "freedom".

But now the fascism is using the same military industrial complex against them, best they can do is do some dorky dance in costumes and an organized protest every few months.

It's like they're oblivious to problems they create elsewhere can also affect them in the long run. But will they learn?

Of course not.

yeah, but it's someone we don't like, so it's fine.

/s just in case.

The "If Criminal, then Bad Person" and the "If Bad Person, then any Bad Thing OK" combo are pervasive in America, across the political spectrum, and have been for a while. At least since the War on Drugs started, and almost certainly well before that. It is frightening to have a conversation with a seemingly well-meaning, moral person and have them casually joke about prisoners being tortured, raped, or killed. I don't think it's an attitude unique to America but I think the private prison industry has had a lot to do with how incredibly common the attitude is that, if someone is in prison, they must have done something wrong, and if they did something wrong, any bad thing that happens to them (forced labor, starvation, sexual assault, death) is deserved punishment. It's ghastly.

Not ok, but less bad if the victim is a petulant rapist.

Email your representatives.

If it makes you feel better (assuming you meant any of that)

I think reform is coming. We saw it with Hollywood. For the longest time that was also a joke “you wanna be a star don’cha?”.

Humor is pain. You won’t find a single joke that isn’t based entirely around pain of some kind. It’s one of the ways we process emotions and it’s one of the easier ways to talk about difficult subjects. It can and always has been a doorway to the eventual discussion.

So hopefully that helps.

Some examples:

1. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. The humor is “it was an easy and obvious answer you fool!”

2. the other night as I lied in bed looking up at the stars and the infinite cosmos I couldn’t help but wonder… what the fuck happened to my ceiling. The humor is the thing you thought was coming didn’t happen and now you are shocked and briefly confused.

3. my mother never breast fed me. She said she always considered me more of a friend. The humor is Rodney dangerfields mother didn’t love him.

its a tough one cause it is a prison rape joke, those are obviously bad and that doesn’t change here

but i won’t lie, i kinda feel like serial rapists like trump deserve to feel what it’s like to be on the other end, for once

Big Beautiful Bill was wrongly imprisoned like many in America. He is a great guy who looks out for other inmates. He is sex positive and knows that consent is mandatory. After falling in love with Bill, Trump is fully reformed and joins the antifascist cause leaving hate behind and embracing peace love and justice for all.

Can you imaging the psycological trauma? He is jail and so old he can hear Death sharpening his scythe in the next room, and someone makes him see, and understand, the evil he's spent his life on. I know it's a fantasy, but that sort of realization would tear apart any normal person's psyche.

Join the fight club, go from big beautiful bill to big brawny bill

They're praying for it to happen, not saying it's a legitimate outcome.

Where's the outrage ???

I see a ton of comments from people upset by this. Yes, it is viewed differently, but in my experience, most people will realize why this isn't okay if you explain it to them.
