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.
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.
