Jokes on you, the French word for a meme is a moimoi
Not to be confised with your mémé
I hate mémés confites anyway, I prefer them rawsted
Oh man, this was like a sleeper code for the Dexter’s Lab core memory lol
Omelette…
Honhonhonhon
It’s crazy to think Bush was once known as the stupidest American president lol
Did… Did he actually say that?
No, he didn’t say that.
But it sounds like something he would have said!
I hope it isn’t necessary, but I’m certain there’s going to be at least one person who doesn’t understand that that is French.
That’s the most based thing I ever heard about the French tbh
The word entrepenuer is French. Bush is just a complete fucking moron.
Are you sure?
Then you do not know much about the French!
For every revolution against oligarchs, there is a country that was fucked over by their imperialism.
I think that doesn’t answer anything at all, like yeah the french did a lot of bad things in history, doesn’t mean they didn’t do based things too.
Can you name a few revolutions against oligarchs? And do I read it right that you think that every time the French fucked over the revolutionaries?
Interesting but wild take.
do know what “the french” is. However, the french state is like leader in overthrow government :

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opération_Bison (attempt)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opération_Tacaud (counter insurgency)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Épervier (defend a dictotar)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Manta (defend the same dictotar)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Azalee
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Zaire_unrest#September_unrest_and_French-Belgian_interventions (counter insurgency)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opération_Licorne (counter insurgency)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opération_Lamantin (counter self-governance)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opération_Turquoise (allow a genocide)
I just dig in the article “françafrique” of wikipedia. It does not cover economic interventionism on domination, like through logistics or uranium extraction. For example a massive strike in Tchad has been counter by sending 2 billions euro to the dictator in order to keep things running. At the same time, Macron was whining to get 2 the same amount for the healthcare. You could find a lot of things about this infamous state deeds on the website “survie”, and support their amazing work.
(notice that we didn’t speak of Algeria, Lybia, Indochina, Kanaky, and a lot of other event)
I clicked the first: like 75 years ago. Okay.
I clicked the last: “The helicopters laid a trail of food, water and medicine enabling refugees to escape into eastern Zaire.”
What has this to do with overthrowing oligarchs? Learn to follow the thread instead of just hate bash.
I show you where to look, you could refuse to do so It’s okay to be coward, but don’t show off.
- Barkane bombing civilian, enforcing dictatorship
- Military intelligence giving intel to let Egyptian bomb civilian coming from Palestine
- Caesar canon used to bomb civilian in Yemen
- Village mobilize against ore extraction in Tchad bombed by french air force
- Allowing weapon during kanak mobilization, to let colon armed themselves, and covering them when they kill, and deporting kanak that want the peace treaty to be respected
All this event took place recently, and we just scratching the surface because it took time to investigate, specially when it’s covered by the state confidentiality
They do have a word for them. It’s guillotine. Just not a word to call them by.
same with Skibidi. wtf is with that?
Holy shit! What is wrong with you, using filthy words like fr*nch online?
Oh my fucking god! You can’t just say fr*nch on the internet!
Mémé means Grandma in French and pisse-mémé is herbal Tea - such a lovely language …
So if you’re telling your grandma you saw the same meme, could you say “J’ai vu le même meme, Mémé”?
Also, you better not order the fish at a restaurant operated by French psychos* unless your pronunciation is immaculate.
*since regular chefs tend not to poison you on purpose. Not even the French ones.
When a kid says “meme” when they mean “image macro”
I remember when people would argue and get mad at the generic use of the word meme for funny internet picture.
I miss a lot of things but I don’t miss the image macro pedantry
No, the problem is that the kids think that the definition of “meme” is an image macro.
I can’t tell if you’re messing with me or if you actually don’t know the one intelligent thing that Richard Dawkins has ever said
I love that image. Here you go 🙂
…The Aristocats!

Wait, we don’t like The Selfish Gene? Seems to be a good idea, at least from the evolutionary perspective if not the sociological one.
I don’t mind The Selfish Gene so much as I hate Richard Dawkins for being a misogynistic transphobe who hung out with Epstein after his first conviction. For an enlightened rational athiest, he is quite narrow minded about science that doesn’t agree with his reactionary worldview.
Also, he’s a huge realist 🤮
Scientifically, no. The selfish gene he posits is on the level of saying you only use 10% of your brain.
The book isn’t all good. There’s some strong arguments even against the concept of memes, but I think that particular idea is pretty robust
How so? Wikipedia and most sources near the top of DuckDuckGo seem to think that the idea is generally well-received, with a few minor quibbles.
The biggest problem with the book is that Dawkins demonstrates that the gods are living, evolving ideas which have developed over time to the point of being able to exert agency on the world… And then remains an atheist. Instead of concluding, as Terry Pratchett liked to joke, that the gods are alien intelligences created by humans through worship.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here. How does your last sentence flow from your first? I think most atheists would agree with the notion that gods are ideas passed down over generations. They’re not real things that actually exist, but like anything people believe, the very idea of them exerts an influence on society…which we see every time a government passes a law based in religious ideology, like anti-LGBT or anti-abortion laws.
None of that even seems very controversial. Unless you’re a believer in a literal god or gods, I’m not sure where the problem is.
That guy is pretty much Baudrillarding that people live in the world created by media — including folk communication like memes in this case — so if this collective consciousness says something is true, it might as well be.
(You might want to tag the user, as they regularly say pretty weird stuff, this one is rather mild for them. Or don’t and let yourself be surprised.)
The idea of a god is a god. Jesus actually exists, He’s a psychological parasite living in the collective imagination of humanity. And He influences the world through His followers, who are sworn to serve Him.
Instead of concluding, as Terry Pratchett liked to joke, that the gods are alien intelligences created by humans through worship.
That would be a massive logical leap for someone to make
Not it’s just a symbolic framing calm down rationality-crusader
Nope, that’s what I was referencing (wait i think the term meme came from that book). gotta give the man the flowers that he’s due
“Cat, I farted”

french nationalists? You mean ⅓ of adults in France?
fuck them
I’m French and I approuve this message.
I mean, if “them” is the 1/3 that vote far right. You can include the 1/3 that vote “centre” (aka right). A third of us are still cool despite everything IMO.
yes, “them” is for those who vote
