I need to cash in on the "X but as a conservative meme product"

Endless source of suckers you wouldn't feel bad taking money from. Just take some existing product, repackage it, slap together some corny branding material, and post on Facebook.

It’s not that hard, just buy cheap shit from Alibaba and sell it for a 1000% markup

Identifies as transparent

But it is transparent. Unless they're selling nasty cloudy translucent water lol

apt metaphor since women “IDing” as women is what enrages chuds

I bet it's that "raw water" grift from some years ago, rebranded.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I was going to say going off their one joke that would imply it isn't. In all but one of the pictures it does ki da look like a white opaque liquid in there are they also trying to do the milk thing too?

This is what happens when they try to make a joke more complicated than literal labels.

[-] goose@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago

It’s funny, it says so right there on the sign

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

No, it says it's America's funniest. They're not lying, because this is the funniest an anti-woke water brand will ever be.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

not even, they were beaten to the punch years ago

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

That doesn't count as anti-woke in the "ARE YOU TRIGGERED SNOWFLAKE!!!???" sense to me shrug-outta-hecks

Imagine the outrage if we did stuff like that.

Oh wait, we did when we started calling them gammons and we got hypocritical shit like this saying that we we're the problem unlike the fascists who have CLEARLY done nothing wrong. .

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thank you this is hilarious.

No one is sure who said it first – they are hardly fighting over it. Dickens used it, but he died before Twitter, and I am happy for him.

And I can’t really think of a better modern example of dehumanisation than comparing your fellow voter to a pig because you don’t like his politics. For saying this, I will be called a Tory and worse. I’m not. I’m Labour. Compute that, comrades.

Her husband is a Tory. Amazing, no notes.

"You might have thought I was a useless neoliberal dumbfuck but actually I'm labor, checkmate commies"

Not the own they think it is

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It reeks of class snobbery too; no wonder it is popular with the socialist bourgeoisie who, like Citizen Kane, talk about the people as if they own them.

porky-scared-flipped : "Mocking bigots back is wrong because bigotry is for poor people. Why do you hate the working class, capitalist snob?"

Do these types even hear themselves? Or is this some weird smart-alecky trolling thing they're doing to fuck with me?

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The article she cowrote with her husband is extremely funny. Politics is mostly an aesthetic for her.

I have always loved to talk to Tories because leftists — including myself — scream so much. Andrew says it is a sexual fetish that exposes me as a Tory in denial. I suppose that is possible, but I think it is more likely that I need conflict to feel calm; and, if I cannot shout at people in print, shouting at them — at him — is as good. We almost came to blows over homelessness last month. This aside, I find his conservatism exotic. I love the other detritus of his Toryism; it has a theme-park quality to it. Before I married I had never eaten a home-baked cake, read a parish magazine or shared a pillow with a dog.

We were a red/blue house until Jeremy Corbyn appeared, then we became a yellow/blue house. I am distraught about Labour’s fall into Jew-hatred, but I do not hate Corbyn quite enough to vote Tory. I will not give him the power to make me maim myself. I think about it, and I fantasise about it, but I know I will not be able to do it on the day.

Instead I campaign for the Liberal Democrats, a party I broadly agree with — although I think we should leave the EU, since we voted to, which makes me a pretty weird Liberal Democrat — and hope that it pushes politics somewhere in the direction I would like it to go.

and your precious nazis AREN'T like this? Now that these types have JK Rowling, do they not realize that they're all the fucking Dursleys? Do they REALLY think they can hurl insults at people minding their own business, including mocking their political rivals with all sorts of mean pot shots, and not get an ounce of it in retaliation?

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Literally broadcasting the fact that she wishes she could be true to her self and be a chud.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Remember when Cuomo said Fredo was the same as the n word.

one joke

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

I'll never understand why we are always forced to be polite to these types, but these dipshits are allowed to treat us like garbage.

You'd think Velma would have gotten them to think about 'huh, I don't like it when people make fun of me for being part of certain identity groups, is this how I come off?', but no. Irony was lost of them.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

chuds don't engage with media, they absorb it at face value

Idenfities as transparent

Transphobia aside, this implies they are selling some really nasty shit lmao

frothingfash : "I fucking hate you, you worthless [slur]! But by the way if I can get honest in this hypothetical strawman, I act this way just for the thrill of being bad. Being a douche makes me look cool!" <- If you react negatively to this, you are an easily offended snowflake.

doomjak : "Please, just be nice. It won't kill you to be polite." <- Please get offended to this, kindness isn't COOOOOOL!

Did Eric Cartman rewrite the rules of social etiquette or something?

Did Eric Cartman rewrite the rules of social etiquette or something?

For at least 2.5 generations of fragile american white men, yes.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Even South Park's creators have gotten in on it, and ever since their crusade against SJWs, they've just been hellbent on trying to vindicate Eric Cartman.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I think the effect of a generation thinking that Eric Cartman was the funny one explains some stuff actually.

Why is white XXX Tentacion on the poster? Was that the first thing that popped up when they typed ´woke gen z’ into the AI photo generator?

Pretty sure the woke mind virus is transmitted through bodily fluids, so joke's on you.

Pretty sure drinking this turns you woke.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Thanks for reminding me that the new Tom MacDonald video should have just come out.

Dude is running out of titles, it was less than two years ago that he had "The System" and now this new one is "The Machine". Don't bother, the actual song's boring as shit, too. Just slop that could be generated by an AI trained on Eminem and "I'm not a Republican, but" Discourse.

Desperately using consumer choice to signal a political affiliation because I'm so market brained there's nothing in my head except a subspecies of soothsayer brain worms that channel the ghost of Hayek
