I don't subscribe to the whole never forget thing. But this is still in poor taste. 3000+ people did die that day.
The shock value is the point. It's supposed to juxtapose how the #alllivesmatter people feel about 9/11 VS deaths at the hands of police. The point of the meme is NOT that those 3000+ lost are not valuable, rather that #alllivesmatter is insensitive, not the point, and not useful.
Thank you for sharing that interpretation. That view had not occurred to me.
One of the rare instances where a meme really is like a piece of art
You're getting the point
So why waste time posting it at all?
The point is that All Lives Matter is also in 'poor taste'. About 250 Black people are shot by police every year, so there's been well over 5,000 Black people killed since 9/11—yet the same people who give that tired old 'all lives matter' line are also the ones who say 'never forget'.
Yeah, I got that. Still doesn't need a meme. You're not changing anybodys mind about being racist by posting this.
Nothing needs a meme, lmao
WRONG! memes pointing out the hypocrisies of Capitalism got me to leave the Libertarian Party. Bahaha memes are quite literally the new pamphlets, the fact that Capitalist are trying to seize the outlets they are shared through quite literally tells us that they change people's minds.
Yeah pretty sure the memes isn't why billionaires are going out of their way to shut down certain social media platforms. It's an easy way to connect and start a movement. The fact that you think it's because of memes is hilarious.
Gee I wonder how folks use social media as an easy way to connect and share ideas... if only there was a medium from which they could easily share concepts and ideas... alas all hope is lost cause we have no way to effectively share ideas in an easy to consume humorous format... 🤓
Be condescending all you want. You're still wrong.
Am I though? Lol cope harder 🤡
He's right tho
Its called drawing parallels. The meme is saying that people who said 'All Lives Matter' as a response to 'Black Lives Matter' would be like saying 'All Buildings Matter' on September 12th 2001.
