You don't say what the fuck are you doing man? But if a guy on your own team took the basketball and shoved it up his shirt and pulled down his shorts and started doing cartwheels with his dick and balls out toeard your own goal you might rightfully feel justified in screaming at him to get his shit together or he's off the team. You might take the guy aside and say buddy are you sure you understand what you're supposed to bedoing here?"

A screenshot of text, posted by instagram account "friendly comrade memes." It reads: "For a long time, I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up any fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally, I noticed that enough of them keep voting with the Republicans to always ensure that the Republicans more or less win almost every fight, and that they start by bargaining from the Centre position and moving Right--and eventually, after enough of that, it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts: The Democrats are not overmatched, they aren't weak, they aren't cowards...they're complicit.

A screenshot of a poem on an off-white background. The poem is titled Dolce Et Decorum Est, by Wilfred Owen

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Marble sculpture entitled "L'ange du mal," carved in the 1800s in Belgium. The statue portrays Lucifer, seated on a pillar of rought stone. He is nude except a cloth across his thighs. His weight is braced on his right hand, in which he holds a crown and a rod. Beneath his feet is a serpent. His head is bowed, with wavy hair reaching his shoulders. He is surrounded by a mandorla of bat wings. The statue was deemed "too sublime," distracting, and against Christian values. It was replaced by a similar figure carved by the original artist's brother some years later.

Bluesky user @ismisa.bsky.social posted in response to a comment from user @fartherafield.bsky.social (not pictured). Ismisa's post reads "It's not satire. You clearly don't understand what it means or how it is written, know it all American. Suck fking know alls making shit up as they go and presenting it as facts."

A reply from @fartherafield reads "I am not American. What makes you believe it is not satire?"

A screenshot of a New York Times article link. The photo is a black and white of Charlie Kirk in a suit, smiling, head down. He appears to be on a stage.

The article headline reads "Opinion | Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way." The screenshoted link directs the New York Times website.

A graphic labeled "the long term effects of voting for the lesser evil." It shows a line labeled "the left" to the left "the centre" in the middle, and "the right" to the right. Below, the same image is repeated, but "the left" is crossed out in red, and "the centre" is replaced with the words "the left." The new middle between "the left" (former centre) and "the right" has been labeled as the new centre. In each successive chart, the "centre" moves farther to the right as centrists compromise with the right wing and cede greater power. On the last graph, the line has been artificially extended to the far right, and what was labeled "the right" on the first graph is now the left, as the right has reached a farther extreme. The centre is found farther right than the original right wing had been, as a result.

The image is intended to illustrate the impact of centrist/liberal compromise with the right wing, encapsulated by phrases like "the left is always purity testing political candidates."

An illustration by Gustave Doré from Milton's Paradise Lost. The black and white image portrays Lucifer being cast from the clouds down a beam of light toward a featureless sphere. His mammalian wings are outstretched. Overhead there are stars twinkling.

A screenshot of a skeet from user @leftliblucy. It reads "It is well worth noting that no FBI Director has ever been a Democrat.

The population of Gaza is increasing, so we're doing a really bad job of genocide. But keep calling us names."

A screenshot of the wikipedia page for Jury Nullification. It reads:

Jury nullification, also known in the United Kingdom as jury equity,[1][2] or a perverse verdict,[3][4] is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury's reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust,[5][6] that the prosecutor has misapplied the law in the defendant's case,[7] that the punishment for breaking the law is too harsh, or general frustrations with the criminal justice system. Some juries have also refused to convict due to their own prejudices in favor of the defendant.[8] Such verdicts are possible because a jury has an absolute right to return any verdict it chooses.[9] Nullification is not an official part of criminal procedure, but is the logical consequence of two rules governing the systems in which it exists:

Jurors cannot be punished for passing an incorrect verdict.[10]
In many jurisdictions, a defendant who is acquitted cannot be tried a second time for the same offense.[11]

A tweet from Craig Mokhiber, dated November 17, 2024. The tweet reads "The West likes to talk about "the day after" and to promise a return to the oppressive status quo of 2023. But there is no "day after" for a genocidal apartheid regime. The regime must be disarmed and dismantled, its perpetrators must be prosecuted, its victims must receive redress and compensation, survivors must return home and be protected, the society of the perpetrators must be decolonized and purged of its racist ideology, and a new dispensation based on equality and human rights for all must be established from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. This is the only way forward. There will be no peace without justice.
