Slop? How dare you. This was a hand-crafted artisanal meme that took me a whole night in GIMP to make!

Cowbee’s Law: Effective agitprop will make you enemies.
I don’t think they can be called space nerds if they call people “the least intelligent members of a community” for making a post comprised of literally nothing but objectively true information.
These people are not nerds. Nerds have passion for their favored subject. These people are instead actively hostile to knowing about milestones in space if they are not the achievements of their team. They are fans, comparable to medal counting nationalists who do not spare a single thought for any of the sports outside an olymic tally. That is why this meme is almost precision engineered to rile them up.
So none of them can even say that you’re wrong, let alone why (as if there’s actually a reason), but plenty of them can come up with bizarre death threats and neo-slurs.
Not surprised. I think of that graphic periodically and see it every now and then in other places too. Excellent work. Class A posting
Holy shit they are so mad at basic facts, and none of them have any counter, just vitriol. That’s abaurd, but you’re right, effective agitprop creates enemies (and I’m flattered that you’d mention me alongside that).
Not just that, but the most cookie cutter insults lmao. No wonder they love LLM regurgitated slop, they’re even less creative than that.
You are genuinely worse than Hitler
according to this they don’t think Hitler was that badThen the comment right below one that just straight up makes the
explode like a dbz scouter
ironically all of the hitler lovers got poached to work for NASA
Why are many of the comments “You could [hurt me to death some way] and I would not [say this someway]”? Just a bizarre retort.
Seems like you got botted or hit by a group with a script.
It’s the latest epic burn format, and no twitter user has the brainpower to think of a unique joke
common redditism
botted
if so the security apparatus gets to defend western chauvinism and normalize torture at the same time
I don’t understand it, the embarassing thing is making the meme itself? Isn’t that format for like, admitting to something embarrassing? “I’d be so embarrassed if I had made this meme I don’t agree with” ok? Id be embarrassed if I were like you too, that’s why I’m not.
apparently this meme is widely known and hated by these types in these “science” communities, so much so that they believe it to be completely idiotic and whoever created it a total dolt. Notably, they never once back this assertion up with any type of compelling counter-argument or facts. Something makes them seethe so bad that they all collectively agree it’s just bad TM
Tangentially related but I started watching the first ep of for all mankind and that shit is so funny. The USSR beats the US to the moon and these NASA freaks who are all white men get “mad as hell” then immediately jump into their corvettes and literally race to the bar so they can DUI, and throw beer bottles against the newspaper headline inside the bar where theres only one server who now has to clean that shit up, and we as the audience are meant to sympathize with them I guess? And the announcers on TV are all grim and shit, and everyone is watching the “red moon” landing in terror
Its just so amazingly burger brained. I fucking wish.
I hope China beats Artemis to the moon now so CNSA can congratulate the US on second place
And then the USSR lands a woman on the moon and shit gets really funny.
So I should keep watching it then
Edit: okay just read a reddit thread full of redditurds crying about how woke it is so yes I will watch it. Better than this gambo rewatch I’m doing instead
I think season 1 had a relatively sympathetic (for lib brained TV) take on the Soviets. And season 2 doesn’t play them as complete monsters. However it’s brain worms all the way from season 3 onwards.
Don’t forget to mention the insane speech the kosmonaut on the moon has. Even the US had enough presence of mind to not go all rock, flag and eagle, but surely the soviets would be all steel, stoicism and sickles.
Honestly I didn’t even think about it, I was just like hell yeah this is awesome
Just watched the 2nd soviet landing and when she flips up that visor
I am extremely mad about that show for being too busy jerking off Amerikkkans’ ignorant space nostalgia to actually do its stated premise of exploring the alternate history where the space race continues and NASA continues to have Apollo-era tier funding.
Only 3 eps in and I read it as a satire, guessing it gets worse
One of the first establishing shots of season 2 is
the space shuttle, complete with its iconic delta wing shape that all Amerikkkans recognize, in orbit of the moon. This is deeply foolish, and shows a total lack of concern for both space physics and the history of the Amerikkkan space program post-Apollo in favor of memberberries for the hogs.
Big fan of the person accusing you of being CIA. I gotta look into those brainworms
Not even “Russian” or “Chinese bot”. Very strange logic.
There’s equal chances the poster is a hardcore bluedog or MAGA, but they are definitely one of the two
There’s a certain type of libertarian who thinks the CIA is communist because it’s the ultimate state organization, and it attacks right wing groups.
:both-sides:
They’re so full of impotent rage, can’t even manage an original insult or articulate anything beyond ‘commie bad’
excellent work
When I had the free time to post pinned comments on reddit I got absolutely bombarded with literally hundreds and hundreds of liberals, they would “brigade” the thread, they would post on all their lib subs like subredditdrama to bring in more of them, they would piss and shit and moan. Every single time.
All they achieved was creating massively more for me to respond to, convincing even more people in the comments.
Pinned comments?
Used to pin comments on subreddits I moderated and use the space for communist propaganda. Each day it’s fairly easy to work out which post is going to become the next front page post, and pinning a comment to that post at an early time would secure it hits the maximum number of eyes as it reaches /r/all and frontpages on reddit.
So what I would do was pin a comment in whatever the thread was that would obviously blow up, usually I’d keep it relevant to the post but if not I would do the most ridiculous segue possible into whatever the latest bit of information was that I’d learn or personally enjoyed and spread it to others. Basically my thinking was “if I got something out of this information, others will too”.
Example of one such ridiculous segue: https://old.reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/n654ki/capitalism_sounds_a_lot_like_socialism_apparently/
Finding old posts by me now is actually kinda hard unfortunately so I can’t dig up a whole lot, but I did it daily for months and months. There’s a lot of content in /r/subredditdrama that specifically names me and a whole bunch of liberals that would definitely remember my old account names. There were some posts with thousands of “brigade” libs back then.
The trick was to understand the line between what you could say to be likeable in the reddit crowd vs what you couldn’t say, and also to make sure to remove as many libs as possible from the space to reduce resistance but not completely eliminate it, some resistance is good, resistance gives you something to post more propaganda responses to.
If I had the time to do it today I would probably be doing relentless China education, the time is ripe to make people pro-China whereas back when I was doing this in the past you couldn’t even mention China without risking people switching off to what you were saying because of how touchy the subject was.
Thank you for your service

Everyone calling you names, yet nobody was able to formulate just one counter argument. Not even a fallacious one, they just gave up on arguing. How telling of a community of science enthusiasts
Out of all the memes for them to get mad at, lmao
Oh, you think the Soviet space program was egalitarian? A guy was rude to a lady once! Not like NASA, which only sent a woman to space way after that!
If you think the USSR was so egalitarian, explain to me why only the USA has killed both men and women with cost cutting measures in a rushed shuttle program
Happy I get to use this twice
i love that they got the actual schoolhouse rock guy to sing that
Yeah, it’s one of those things that really got drilled into my head
Also, Simpsons predicted the Jan. 6th Capitol Riot
Some gross shit that invades my brain again whenever people bring up sexism in the US during the space race:
Wernher von Braun, asked about female astronauts in the sixties, had joked that the men in charge were “reserving 110 pounds of payload for recreational equipment.”
https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2015/05/19/a-brief-history-of-spacefarers/
Wonder what that guy’s deal was?
[von Braun] became a member of the Nazi Party and then the Allgemeine SS to support his rocket work. He led the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany, and later of rocket and space technology in the US.
Oh.
[von Braun] became a member of the Nazi Party and then the Allgemeine SS to support his rocket work.
Don’t worry guys, it was just to support his rocket work. Really, he was just a smol innocent researcher
He just loved the goddamn rockets that much
not my department
i still don’t get what’s the issue with that meme
HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THE DIRTY PINKOS BEAT US
Lol, they can’t even cope with the most basic propaganda being dismantled in their face.
I have seen that image countless times and even have it saved somewhere in my phone, it’s cool knowing you’re the one that made it.
it’s one of a handful of support pillars for their western chauvinism and the cognitive dissonance is deeply uncomfortable
Going to the moon was so important. A far more impressive feat of science than any probe or rover.
That’s why we stopped sending humans to the moon and kept sending probes and rovers everywhere.
