Acab because the people that made this meme thinks the cops should just kill someone like this

Cops having a chuckle because they’re too cowardly to take a beating in order to save a life. All cops are cowards.

"reject modernity embrace tradition" isn't even a dogwhistle it's literally just saying regressive ideology directly. how does anyone not get this

am I missing something? is there a way to interpret this that isn't "progress is bad and we should reverse it to return to a mythical Past when things were better" or are otherwise well meaning internet people just so easily persuaded by nazi propaganda that they see a thing that means that and think "yeah sure that doesn't sound evil"

okay I guess I failed to account for how if you either ignore half the phrase or interpret both "reject modernity" and "embrace tradition" as meaning the opposite of what they mean then it no longer means what it sounds like it means. thanks everyone.

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people 🤷‍♂️

Even then, Which tradition? Who’s tradition? From what time period? From what people? The traditional land management practices of the indigenous peoples who live on this land for millennia before your ancestors stole it a couple centuries ago? Oh, not that one?

I think the best possible interpretation is for specific cases of a technology that’s gone too far and isn’t actually improving our quality of life, just generating profits and carbon, like “smart phone bad, writing letters good” or “car culture bad, trains/biking/walking good”.

But the phrase is so vague that I agree it’s far more likely to be used in bad faith or by those who aren’t complaining about technological progress, but social progress.

the funnest form of being a hater is hating something you actually have so much love for but sucks. it’s cathartic. corny people are always like ‘if you hate x so much don’t talk about it 😒 positivity always <3’ you could NEVER understand our WARRIORS BOND

here's the thing. I don't think that men and women can't be friends. I do think, however, that some men can't be friends with women. bc they are misogynists and don't see women as people. so if you as a man say men and women can't be friends I think you're telling on yourself

Frankly some of you should be hornier over weirder shit. The fear of being too genuine is the enemy of art. Be a bit of a pervert. It's good for the health. Doesn't have to be a sexual thing just own up to being a bit obsessed in some cringe shit it's fine.
