Further proving Milo's argument that the Right is the new counter culture.
I really do enjoy how the forces of authoritarianism are running around in hemp shirts and Jesus sandals while the subversives are in golf casual.

Since every political theory we have was developed in Europe, they're ALL "continental philosophies". Libertarianism, which they revile, is as much a continental philosophy as communism.
Nah. Continental is mainland (primarily Germany) Europe. The alternative being British philosophy.
So Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler vs. Adam Smith and John Locke

Wow. Spectacular fail.
The left can't meme because the left doesn't have a sense of humor (collectively, for sure, and even individuals are rare) - look no further than HRC's attempt to take a shot at Trump - they kept calling him Donald Duck - which is the opposite of funny.

ok since following Sassy Socialist Memes (which is in the article in OP), i'm faced with a tough question
either this is one epic troll or holy shite the left cannot meme

Surely those are memes making fun of the left, right?

bruh that's what i'm saying
it would be an amazing troll job considering they tricked Vice into writing about them (straight faced) and have legions of commenters
they even have little subculture memes calling each other Comrade

those go beyond cringeworthy into 'huh?' territory.

Vice seemed a bit more savvy than that. I guess when your side is losing your once prominent edgy culture identity, you'll look for anything to get it back.

it's still hilarious to me to watch them cling to this, as if it's within the liberal domain still

The left doesn't always have a meme culture..
..but when they do, it's pretty shitty.

Much like every other aspect of modern politics, the left has become the unfunny moral conservatives that are afraid of change much like the right used to be.

did you read that article yesterday about the silicon valley *gasp* sex parties?
Posted on 1/4/18 at 2:39 pm to SlowFlowPro
No. Were they saying it's a bad thing?
Posted on 1/4/18 at 2:41 pm to SlowFlowPro
This has to be a troll. Even in Russia, do they think that the Bolshevik Revolution was a good thing? Through the ages, that one event caused the death of like 150 million people. I don’t think even most modern day communists can look back at that positively.

i think another major issue is that all the different factions on the right completely understand what crazy progressives are like and how they think. crazy progressives aren't nearly as tuned in to how various groups on the right are like and how they think. hell most progs are probably ignorant of the differences themselves
This is exactly it. Almost everyone on the right understands the left really well, but almost everyone on the left thinks everyone to the right of Mao is a Nazi. They also actively avoid all places where the right congregates and rarely ever interact with them on their home turf except on /pol/ which is probably the single worst place for a liberal to go because almost everyone gets redpilled if they stay there too long.

What's funny about this is it's an accurate representation ancaps are actually unironically proud of.
Also why it doesn't work and the meme is pointless. True ancaps do a good enough job parodying themselves.
To be fair, most ancaps memes are hilarious if only because of how insanely over the top they are. Also, most ancaps memes aren't actually made by the left at all, rather they are made by the Alt Right or even ancaps themselves because unlike the left, the right can laugh at itself.

The left CAN meme. Their actions provide an endless supply of material to meme war veterans.
