dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Can this strategy be turned back on them?

Who am I kidding, the USA populace always immediately obtains critical thinking capabilities the moment someone tries to trick them into being nice (and then magically loses them once the “threat” is gone)

No, making things up to trick libs never ends well. They won't understand that you're just trying to get them to be less gullible, they will take it as an insult and dismiss everything you've said regardless of whether it is true or not.

I've always wondered what the death toll from the Great Depression would be if you used the same methodology that yields the high estimates for the Chinese famine.

But to answer your question, no, they'll ignore any point you could ever make along those lines.
