    I downvoted it because conservatives constantly make this exact same “joke” about how poor people actually deserve to be poor because they pay for Netflix or clothes or anything that isn’t food or rent. It’s not funny when they do it and because I’m not a hypocrite I don’t find it funny when leftists do it either.

    Normally I would have just downvoted and moved on with my day, but apparently that makes me a “coward that refuses to stand and be counted”. Because attacking people for downvoting a joke they didn’t like is apparently 100% okay with Lemmings and totally not toxic behavior. Does not liking literally all of the comedy that comes out of the left make me a ‘bad-faith both-sides “leftist”’? If so, guilty as charged. I do not see the left as a monolith and feel no shame in criticising or disagreeing with what other leftists say.

        Sooo… I’m not a leftists and I don’t think it’s a leftist meme

        We know. You’re a liberal and this is a lib meme. Making fun of poor people and dismissing economic concerns for spending money irresponsibly is very on brand for liberals.

        But yeah keep kicking asses I guess. Republicans appreciate your service
