So the thing that brought me back to this to post it is this: Look at the production value on this meme. Speech bubbles drawn with a tablet, partial transparency, professional font but well-chosen so that it can be clear and readable but still condensed to take up minimal space. Look at the composition. Someone sat down with a tablet and made this up, and this wasn't their first time doing graphic design.
Edit: Also. You know what isn't professional about it? The English grammar. "Remind me" and "oriental" aren't phrasings that I think a native speaker would choose. Why is that part sloppy, when everything else is incredibly painstakingly polished? "Oriental" could maybe be a deliberately weird / wrong word choice as an offbeat joke, I guess, but why "remind me" instead of "reminds me" which is clearly what was intended?
It's a stupid meme even in context, because it's literally in response to Mamdani calling out the genocide using that word. And frankly considering we're talking about a guy in the running to be mayor of a city, not any sort of position with foreign policy power or even power to regulate the industries profiting from this, I'm not sure what more you can ask for.
This guy: YEAH WHAT A FUCKIN ZIONIST TOOL FUCK THAT GUY
I didn't think it was possible to get worse than shitting on Bernie thinking he is pro-Israel, but apparently it is. This fuckin' guy should be studied.
Looks like the user that used the image in that thread had previously retweeted it from this thread where at least the context more makes more sense. I did not dig deeper. Scrolling back 19 hours through both of their feeds was enough Twitter for me.
I mean, IDK if it was great expense, but I do think it was done by either someone who decided to make this one fairly dumb point into a true labor of love to make the most polished meme I've seen all year for it (unlikely), or by someone who does a ton of graphic design (whether for memes or no) to the point that making stuff that looks polished like this isn't a big deal for them. The second seems more likely, although I guess who knows.
I am really curious where it came from. Tineye returns 0 results.
These tankies are either controlled opposition or useful idiots. They fight against progressive candidates for not being far enough left, so that the right can take the easy W.
They (the people funding this stuff, I think) don't particularly care between Cuomo or Sliwa. They will continue to make money hand over fist with either one of them. But Zohran will represent a genuine issue for them, especially if other people see his success and it starts to spread.
Yeah, he's pretty prevalent on !progressivepolitics@lemmy.world, I argue with him a lot there. Particularly in his posts of random shit BadEmpanada says. It's sometimes fun but usually annoying.

@geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml Where did you find this meme? I am curious now

They literally tell you in the post. It was found on this Twitter thread.

Thanks, this is interesting. Also, holy shit...

It's almost like it was hand crafted at great expense by someone for whom English isn't their first language.

Holy shit, you really think so? I gotta tell Blinken about that at our next meeting then...
What if Putin was on Lemmy
That would be crazy...
