    Just don’t combine that with watermelons lol or I’ll assume you’re cool with nazis (or simply oblivious). Peep the other comment, I explained it briefly.

    e: I guess it doesn’t make sense outside of my country so idc that much, just wanted to know the context

      But Palestine is based too.

      I hate the Hitler ate sugar trope, I will appropriate Nazi memes and use them against them all I want.

      It is only as evil as the user wielding them.

          I generally don’t believe in inborn discrimination, I don’t like punishing people for anything that does not come about as their own actions. I also had a lot of tolerance before, but it backfired. I feel that I need to be a lot more vindicative nowadays.

            I hear you 🫂

            I also had a lot of tolerance before, but it backfired.

            Yeah it’s like that for me too sometimes, on the internet at least

        Not always, it’s the memes combining watermelons with “based” lingo, and for the most part people using them are fine, just not aware that it got started by nazis and is sometimes used as a dogwhistle

        edit: you can draw a parallel to how pepe is used, only the origins and users are flipped in that case

          I’m unaware of the origin, in western europe it’s a synonym of support for Palestine.
