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 [email protected], it's a great comm.

  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

Imagine being Ben Garrison right now. Imagine how horrifying it must be to think someone like this is out there.

TBH it would be pretty useful to label absolutely everything in this image

Okay, I think I got it. It's about a very specific guy: a Chinese expat living in France (beret(?), bottle of wine(?)) who is very angry about China opening itself to western markets (Nixon, Deng) and is posting about it by pretending to be an African man who smugly denies modern China's role in assisting with the economic development of some African nations.

I... think...?

I can't even begin to imagine what's going on here, but I know there were some declassified recordings and we know that:

racismNixon compared Indian women to Black women and said, “I mean, people say, what about the Black Africans? Well, you can see something, the vitality there, I mean they have a little animallike charm, but God, those Indians, ack, pathetic. Uch.”
.

Also I'm pretty sure at some point Nixon and Kissinger (of course) tried to get China to pressure India over the Indo-Pakistan war.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

This seems much more plausible than my silly attempt. Didn't even consider the India aspect of it.

That still makes no sense

it's a yellow guy (not being racist that cartoon is literally yellow) wearing a dark skinned mask

Guys there's literally PragerU videos on Weibo. Just because he's Chinese doesn't mean he's a comrade. This is literally just a 4Chan meme from some self-hating Chinese guy living in England.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (2 children)

counterpoint: watching new scientific research that pushes the frontiers of philosophy, anthropology, and sociology emerge in the comment section is really funny

This meme is truly one of the greatest conundrums of the 21st century, and we may never truly know what was meant by it.

If I posted this wojak I'd be called racist by 15% of the posters here.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 8 months ago

hopefully the number would be a lot higher lol

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago

Under those circumstances, they'd probably be correct (and it'd be way more than 15%)

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (4 children)

It is racist. Top right says "posted from England". It's either some self hating lib or some barely sentient Anglo that managed to stumbled onto weibo. Normal people don't use wohaks in China.

Edit: He seems to be an ethnic Mongol Chinese 4chan (hence the wojaks, which all the people replying to him are confused by too) edgelord who hates Han people but is also a (RETVRN to Qing) nationalist? Dude is literally saying slurs in half his posts. He literally posted a happy merchant meme (https://wx4.sinaimg.cn/orj360/008yj1KWgy1hmuvc403izj311w0pjn84.jpg) Weibo users are all unhinged.

Also found a post where he says he doesn't believe in evolution, and another where he talks about how his white father in law is super racist towards him for being Asian, which he in true self hating fashion says "why must he mistake Mongols for Cantonese". I can't tell if this account is a bit or if this guy is really like this lmao.

Chinese people live in England. It is a common destination for foreign students. London has a centuries-old Chinatown.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

A Chinese guy living in England who posts on Weibo has more Gusano energy than 20 Miami Cubans.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

for what it's worth, VPN use is very common in china and as such the "posted from" field could say anything

if you posted any wojak you'd be called racist, and rightly so

I'll take a stab at it.

So first, this is pro-Deng seemingly. Working from that premise, I think it is making fun of ultras having to play it cool for Nixon so Deng's plan could work properly, and how they were actually super upset about it and drinking? a lot?. The dark skin mask is also showing that part of the plan was to play to Nixon's racism, he just sees easy to exploit cheap non-white labor.

I dunno, I guess that will be my head cannon until I discover otherwise.

A black faced yellow skin wojack. Is that Nixon? Don't know who the pepe thought sun guy is. Is this comentary on the west outsourcing their labor to China/Asia and Asian cope as new conent slaves of western capitalism? Alcohol as a coping mechanism. Don't know what the hat is. Could be completely off base here.

So I think this is anti-Deng. I think the guy behind the mask represents ordinary Chinese workers. The face of the mask is dark because I think it’s intended to show Nixon eyeing China like it’s a new slave plantation for the US.
