That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents.Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads.
(and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
“X has two bullets” is an established joke format. That the liberal gives the gun to the fascist is ironic in that it subverts the usual formula of someone being shot twice, which is itself based in irony, as one would originally expect two people to be shot. The fact that it’s an accurate metaphor for actual politics is necessary; if it weren’t we’d all think the joke doesn’t make sense.
It’s just stupid. Top to bottom, left to right. There’s no angle that is funny or enlightened.
The twist is lame. The original premise isn’t funny. Certainly not ‘funnier’ than the propaganda the premise is trying to deliver.
The whole fucking thing is just a Schrödinger’s asshole setup with a different sort of joke than we’re used to with those setups.
If you buy into the agitprop, it reinforces purity testing and infighting, while undermining solidarity between people who could find common ground.
And if you don’t, then it’s just a joke, bro.
What makes it explicitly humorous?
having a sense of humor.
… it’s literally a telling a joke?
I mean this earnestly, what part is funny?

It’s not funny, though.
