Lemmy: “Haha! You fucking idiots! That’s not what Transgenic means.”
DOGE: “Don’t actually care. This is just some bullshit to distract the rubes while we finish our bust out of the US Treasury.”
We know, this comm is specifically for satire and humor of the right-wing. We make some memes and crack some jokes to help deal with the sad reality we’re all currently in
I see this misguided gripe all the time, people forget how important cultural and political messaging is for organizing and motivation.
I interviewed an old guy who fought in the spanish civil wars and he had this massive collection of pamphlets and leaflets and newsletters and posters from that period and, let me assure you, other than design, style, and medium, the messaging was consistent with current sarcastic memes and even shitposts. They made a lot if it, propaganda and useful info wrapped together, like in all struggles. That stuff is important.
Effective resistance strategy incorporates many tactics. You look to your expertise, and draw strength from others where you can.
The Spanish Civil War did not end well for antifascists. People were making fun of Francisco Franco well into his late 70s.
That has no bearing on their point.
Wait wait,
Are you telling me through a meme that they honestly misread some shit and posted it to the White House website (saw on another meme).
Man, if I wasn’t so worried about the future I would be laughing very hard right now (am chucking though).
“Honestly” is doing some heavy lifting in that statement, but yes.
(The people masterminding selling the government off for their own profit know it’s a lie and don’t care, but the people who put that message on the White House website probably genuinely are stupid enough to buy into it.)
Actually (ignore the petulant bullshit), they didn’t misread anything. You can read each of those projects and see that it has nothing to do with transgenic anything. It is indeed related to how exogenous sex hormones affect mice.
If you can’t handle me when I’m transgenic, you can’t handle me when I’m transgender…
Beesly doesn’t deserve this
They didn’t mix up transgender and transgenetic but they did take any study involving testosterone or estradiol and slap the label “gender affirming” on it.
Guys, understanding the effects of hormones on immune response and cancer incidence has implications far beyond “gender affirming” care.
I’ve had a project involving a mixture of cis-polybutadiene/trans-polybutadiene and I’ve just been trying to turn my brain off while describing that “The concern is that an increase in trans is not specifically an issue with respect to the proportional amount of Cisco. Trans does not cause a problem with the overall material.”
Once you remove external forces from the material, do some of the cis isomers feel safe enough spontaneously become trans? Better keep those trans heathens away from my Bucky ball field.
This is the type of “flood the zone” shit it would be so easy to replicate if the DNC had the balls. Find one stupid thing, shout it all over, then let the memes roll in.
