dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

A dog can’t play basketball

le epic airbud moment

This should be the copypasta we say to liberals everytime trump does the thing the liberals insist the law will not allow him too.

i dont really get this metaphor but for sure this should be an eye opening moment for people who think that policies and procedures matter when a president willing to ignore them outright.

It’s a reference to this timeless shitpost

it doesn't work because in the movie the referee gets out the rule book reads it and says there's nothing in the rule book that says a dog can't play.

There are rules against much of what trump is doing, what we are seeing is that rules are just some ink on some paper, What matters is the willingness to wield political power and political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Air bud is not a refutation of liberalism it is liberalism.

Posting that also I think comes off more like a chud reveling in trump doing bad things rather than making a point about the nature of power.

For my money the better response is to use this gambo thrones gif

Oh the rules say Trump can't do that?

Was that supposed to be your shield lib? a piece of a paper?

The rules you and I exist under are strictly policed and enforced. That is what most people think of when they think of rules. Liberals think of Big Mommy. The problem for liberals is that Big Mommy is not coming to save us. In reality our rules are enforced by a monopoly of violence done to us by the state, no such thing for those in the Ruling class in practice. For the Ruling Class the only enforcement is inter-class squabbles, oligarchs shiving oligarchs thru the state.

In as much the rules that Trump is breaking might as well be a completely different concept.

Posted it yesterday and after the revolution this /leftypol/ post should be required reading.

It should have been an eye opening moment the last time he got in. But, here we are.

Air bud was a dog and he played basketball. Air bud went on to have lots of movies where he played many sports
