    Party of personal freedom and free speech y’all

    I for one believe people should have the freedom to be annoying.

    At least he’s living in this century, as opposed to Trump, who is still stuck in the 80s watching cable TV and talking about his “ratings.”

    Why don’t you guys get some meaningful fucking work done improving the lives of your constituents instead of hating on memes for kids?

    This just in: adults don’t get kids’ memes. More news at 11.

    I think it’s all fascinating, how adults flip out over kids’ trends every generation, without fail, without ever recalling that they followed silly fads/memes when they were kids, too. Like the “cool S” from the 90s.

    I remember adults coming up with all sorts of absurd ideas, straining to connect it to something meaningful, failing to acknowledge that… it’s just a fun thing to draw. And if it’s fun, that’s all kids need. It didn’t mean we were in a cult, or that it’s a gang symbol, or any other ridiculous narrative. Some teachers got so annoyed or suspicious as to ban it from their classrooms, too.

    I’m not bothered by 6-7. I’m not excited by it like kids are, but I get that it’s fun for them in a way that it isn’t for adults. One of the kids I work with said it the other day. I just laughed and told him, “Congrats on learning your first meme.”

    If it wasn’t 6-7, it would’ve been something else. There’s no point in fighting it - just as other fads and memes have come and gone, this too will fade someday. Possibly to be replaced with something more obnoxious. We’ll have to wait and see.

    I think more people would like to ban 67 than this article realizes… it truly is insufferable at times.

    Why do we care what the vice president thinks? Shouldn’t he be meeting with a ladies book club or attending a donor’s funeral somewhere? Is he just spouting crap and waiting and hoping for someone’s death?

    Funny. I’m from the seventies and when we were daydreaming back then about the year 2025… we saw people flying around in transparent bubbles, living in full harmony in futuristic scifi buildings… Who could have thought we would be thrown back in time almost perfectly similar to the nazi regime of the Germans and dangerous idiots like that Orange Satan and its dog Fence being “chosen” as the most important people of a country… It’s devolution.

    I vote for recolonisation. This one has failed.

    When we were kids all of our viral trends at least had an origin story.

    Like that one where Marilyn manson removed some ribs so he could fuck his couch better.
