“Pull yourself up by the bootstraps!”

“That is literally impossible.”

That term was originally coined to describe an impossible task.

Yup, and was twisted to mean the opposite just like rotten apples.

I’m pretty sure it’s more a distinction between people who focus on personal liberties and especially private property vs collectivism and socialism. Basically lots of people aren’t for right wing fascism but still want to own private property, view their personal comforts more important than necessarily the needs of others (NIMBYs I think count here) etc.

This could be as simple as not liking property damage in protests, still preferring cars and trucks to public transportation, not liking high occupancy buildings in your area etc, at least that’s how I’ve gleaned it as someone who doesn’t use that kinda label myself.

I could be wrong, but that’s how it feels to me. Closer to centrist or even just original form of libertarian, which some have labeled as being a bit more left wing than US libertarians.

Pretending that the police isn’t all bad is a pretty damn liberal thing to do.

Fuck the police. Each and every one of these class traitors.

Sorry, did you have something to say?

No, Clyde… liberal ideology is the same liberal ideology everywhere.

The fact that you are more brainwashed than even the average European doesn’t change squat.

What is a proper meme anyways?

In the 90s we had a meme.

“WAZZZZUUUUPPPPP!!!”

And everybody did it, as they danced the macarana, and ate that taco bell dog…wait…

Fun fact: chihuahuas probably began as livestock. The Aztecs ate them. I let my Chiweenie know that on a regular basis when he’s a naughty boy that he could easily be dinner.

I didn’t know that about Chihuahuas. Guinea Pigs were livestock too, but that’s much less surprising when you see how dopey and delicious they are.

You’re a weird guy, Mr Squid…

Most I’d do is grab my cat by the scruff of her neck and say “NO! BAD! Grrrrrrrrrr!!!” and she’d run off with her tail between her legs and a sorry look on her face. Then a few hours later, we would go back to normal and she wouldn’t do that thing again.

Except for putting her butthole in my face. Never got her to stop that when I first woke up every afternoon.

I’m a 46 yo French dude and still throw an unexpected “Wazzuuuuppp” on phone from time to time just to keep that vibe going. It was as stupid as innocent. An hymn to my past youth and a rallying call for generations to come.

It was more a 2000s thing as the ad campaign stretched from 99 to 02

Edit: and I confirmed that it started at the end of December 1999
