Got Them World War Meme Blues Again, Mama

 

Apologies for the sparse posting schedule here this past week. Been extremely busy getting ready for the AstroGnosis conference in three weeks, as well as trying to chart the course of the onrushing apocalypse.


Hey, remember last Monday when World War Three pretty much started up? Well, guess who announced her first new record in 13 years the day before? 

Aw, you guys are good.

Tthat's the cover art on the left. Which looks unsettlingly like a mushroom cloud superimposed over someone's head. Very Episode 8 in a way. Given, you know, the past forty-plus years of this kind of thing I'm not entirely convinced that this situation in Ukraine isn't going to escalate into something more grave.

In the memetime, let's see what the mememasters have to say about recent events.


Good, but really needs BoJo the Clown to complete the set.


Amusing, but gives the Husk way too much credit. There's nothing going on inside that shriveled head, take my word for it.


I appreciate this but most people probably don't know who it is. Needs some signifying.


This is hilarious, no matter what your take on the conflict is. Everyone can agree that the UN is fucking useless.


Absolutely true. Bombing people in their homes sucks. And no one in human history has bombed more people in more homes in more countries than the US has in the past 30 years. It's murdered our collective soul, just in case you're wondering why everything is so insane now. 

So it's time for the war lovers to get out of the planes and fight the Russkies in the streets. I'm sure they'll find it very refreshing.


Yep, Fox News is every bit as blood-thirsty as all the other Mockingbird outlets. War is great for ratings. The joke here is aimed at the jingoistic faction of MAGA, but I doubt they'd get it. They'd just be confused.



Harsh but fair.



Terse. Which brings me to my next item on the agenda...


With the outbreak of hostilities in that vitally important country not one single American can find on a map, I am recommending everyone reading this to work very, very hard to encourage and support all the Bluechecks and Trump-haters to put their money where their mouths are and get on the next flight out to Kyiv. 

Ukraine is accepting volunteers from all over the world so do everything you possibly can to help all the pro-war types overcome whatever misconceptions they might have about the rejuvenating glory of door-to-door combat and get out on the streets of Kyiv and fight. 

Remember to be polite, patient and kind when you approach as many of them as you can as often as you possibly can on social media. Why? Because some might think you're trying to antagonize or mock them, when in reality you're trying to help their fondest dreams come true. They have all been champing at the bit for years to stick it to Putin and there is their big chance. It may never come again.

Your Vaush and Breadtube types - as well as all the think-tank, media and NGO types - might doubt themselves and their abilities to stick it to the Russkies and avenge the 2016 Election. Which is why we all need to be as patient, supportive and encouraging as we possibly can. If they say they're too old, out of shape or inexperienced, remind them that grandmothers are kicking Russian ass up and down the boulevard. They can do it if they just believe in themselves. Keep pushing them until they find the inner strength to achieve their dreams.

Antifa and BLM could shut down the Russian invasion in a matter of minutes if they put their minds to it, so be sure to remind them of that fact as many times a day as you can until they get on a plane to what will surely be a better vacation than a Princess cruise.

In the meantime, enjoy this utterly random collection of very funny memes.

















Should I be offended by this? I mean, should my friend be offended by this?
