OHMYGOD IT’S ATTACKING THE STATUE OF LIBERTY SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING

I know just the man for the job.

This is a good joke. This is such a solid, quality joke.

@explainingthejoke ?

explainingthejoke

The initial image is a size comparison between the statue of liberty and a wind turbine. The wind turbine is over ninety feet (about 28 meters) taller.

A commenter pretended to misinterpret the image as one of a wind turbine attacking the statue of liberty. The next commenter answered with an image of Don Quixote, a literary character who once thought a windmill was a monster and announced his plans to fight it. They are joking that if a wind turbine attacked the statue of liberty, Don Quixote would be willing to fight the wind turbine.

Incidentally, that scene led to the English idiom “tilting at windmills,” meaning a person who has not only disproportionate reactions of anger, but disproportionate reactions of anger to nonexistent challenges.

So all those people who are fighting to preserve coal jobs and the fossil fuel economy are….

actually…

tilting at windmills.

I feel like this is one of the very few times where explaining the joke leads to another one that everyone can now understand and laugh at

I’ll never forget the last in person conversation I had with with a woman I was on and off with for years because whenever there was an issue, she would just stop talking to me for months at a clip.

At one point she straight up blocked me and bragged to mutual friends about it. Friends went to me and told me to move on and that it’s her loss. Her and I didn’t talk for 2 years. In that time, I moved on to the point of getting married. Soon after I got married, she popped in to see if I was single still and lost her shit when she found out I had gotten hitched.

She tried to convince me to get a divorce and called me and idiot for getting married in the first place.

The best part… When she asked why I didn’t wait for her to “come around”. I told her she gave me no choice but to move on when she blocked me.

This was her answer: well a block is only temporary. You should have just waited for it to end then hit me up!

Yeah…. I’m so glad I didn’t.

fuck those people who play these games

People who play these games should be kneecapped

My dad nearly fell into this trap. He was engaged to a woman who would go silent for a while after an argument. Dad finally told her, “Either you’re by my side or you’re not. I’m not playing these high school games anymore. If you love me, talk to me. Otherwise, we’re done.”

He ended up marrying another woman who never played games with him and helped his better side come out.

This advise can go for anyone out there: if your SO is doing this shit, tell them to cut it out or you’re leaving. And follow through on that threat.

Get you a significant other who has good communication skills and will resolve problems together like a fucking adult

I’m a woman and I used to date a guy who did that kind of petty shit. Yeah, he turned out to be extremely abusive. Don’t date/marry any woman, or man who pulls that kind of shit. It’s not worth it.

The second one apparently celebrates the Black Panthers , a famous black supremist group

goldnpoc

Black Panthers is an organization about black empowerment and help black people get back up when they were brought down by white people. Unfortunately, it does not exist anymore. But that ugly ass flag does. Lol stop making up shit.

goyourowndirection

Except the black panthers group is considered to be the same as the kkk because African Americans went out to purposely kill whites. If you’re against the kkk but are ok with the black panthers then congratulations you’re a hypocritical ass hat who doesn’t deserve to speak.

blackfemmejeanvaljean

@goyourowndirection you can’t be ugly and stupid at the same time. please pick a struggle

yourbigsisnissi

racist white people are always painfully ugly, and painfully stupid

because black panthers didn’t kill white people….

y’all cannot be this damn stupid

It’s incredibly telling that at the core of every white supremacist scenario is the fear that black people will simply do the same things that have been done to them

hell, every tea party rally is just slaveowner cosplay and nobody bats a fucking eye

I mean, fuck, let’s just ask Wikipedia what the Black Panthers were about?

The Black Panther Party or BPP (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was a revolutionary black nationalist and socialist organization active in the United States from 1966 until 1982, with its only international chapter operating in Algeria from 1969 until 1972.

Wait, Self-Defense? Well I mean, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything, I’m sure the KKK thinks they’re “defending themselves” too. Let’s keep going.

At its inception on October 15, 1966, the Black Panther Party’s core practice was its armed citizens’ patrols to monitor the behavior of police officers and challenge police brutality in Oakland, California.

Oh. They were literally founded to fight police brutality, something that’s still a huge issue today. That… doesn’t sound like a black KKK at all, does it?

In 1969, community social programs became a core activity of party members. The Black Panther Party instituted a variety of community social programs, most extensively the Free Breakfast for Children Programs, and community health clinics.

They set up health clinics and free breakfast for children? Sounds like they should be sainted, not demonized. So why do people think they were so awful again?

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover called the party “the greatest threat to the internal security of the country”, and he supervised an extensive program (COINTELPRO) of surveillance, infiltration, perjury, police harassment, and many other tactics designed to undermine Panther leadership, incriminate party members, discredit and criminalize the Party, and drain the organization of resources and manpower. The program was also accused of using assassination against Black Panther members.

Oh, right. J. Edgar Hoover, and his super-illegal “counterintelligence’ program designed to spy on and discredit such dangerous radical groups as feminists, anti-colonial movements, Vietnam War protesters, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Their primary tactics included abuse of the legal system to make these groups appear criminal through false evidence and wrongful imprisonment. They also used slander and outright impersonation to make “leftist” organizations look bad, going as far as to put out false media stories, fake publications supposedly from the groups, and even entire faked meetups and violent demonstrations by agents claiming to be operating under the group’s banner.

So yeah. Black Panthers were a community organization group that fought against police violence, but somehow people got in their head that they were the black KKK. Thanks Hoover.
