Only on a political level. This is an overgeneralization for any other kind of humour.

Oh, really ? You don't understand the joke ?
Maybe it's because you don't know right activists ?

Or maybe he's not blind to reality. You do know men are the majority of the domestically abused, right? That's not me speaking, that's the CDC as reported by the American Journal of Public Health. And if you want to talk about a rape culture, look no further than juvenile hall: where the vast majority of rapists and child molesters are female staff, "grooming" almost exclusively teenaged boys. That's the Bureau of Justice Statistics, look it up. We're also the vast majority of drop outs at every level of education, especially college where we're guilty until proven innocent (ever heard of the Duke Lacrosse case?). We're also the vast majority of the homeless and the addicted; the majority of violent crime victims; we're the majority of the depressed and the suicidal. We have no reproductive rights (even in a case, where a gay best friend, donated his sperm to a lesbian couple, who didn't sue for child support, he STILL had to pay it). Even in cases where we're the ones being raped, we still have to pay child support; even as minors! We have next to no rights in family court, being over 90% of all alimony payers and women 60% of the divorce initiators. We're the primary suspects in domestic violence cases in states like California, despite being 78.9% of nonreciprocal victims, and approx. 60% of all chronic non-recriprocal victims; which dovetails with Errin Pizzey---the woman who founded the first battered spouse shelter in Europe---and her long and storied experience with domestic violence herself and as a professional humanitarian.
So maybe YOU don't know rights activism.

"She was his neighbor--a 34-year-old mom, later convicted of statutory rape for engaging him in a romantic tryst that resulted in her getting pregnant...The youth, now 18, won't be required to pay until he has income, said Deputy Atty. Gen. Mary Roth, who handled the case. Say he makes $800 a month working at Burger King," Roth said. "He'll probably be expected to pay $200 a month to reimburse" the welfare program."
www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct…"Lawyer Ben Swinnen argued Thursday that Marotta, 46, can't be declared the father of the now 3-year-old child, because the donor and moms had a written agreement that he had no parental rights or responsibilities...The Kansas Department for Children and Families sued Marotta in October to force him to pay child support and reimburse the state for more than $6,000 in benefits that Schreiner obtained for the child after she split with Bauer in 2010."

"Methods. We analyzed data on young US adults aged 18 to 28 years from the 2001 National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, which contained information about partner violence and injury reported by 11 370 respondents on 18761 heterosexual relationships.
Results. Almost 24% of all relationships had some violence, and half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases."
Bureau of Justice Statistics:
"In regard to incidents of staff sexual misconduct, 92.0% involved male youth and female staff members;"

Meh, I just don't find it funny

If you don’t agree with the message then you wouldn’t.

It's not funny. It's literally just a straw man. You know that 'South Park' episode where, ironically, they had Whoopie Goldberg say over and over 'Republicans are stupid.' to a group of horking Lefties? That's about the caliber of comedy we're dealing with: only that puerile deficit of humor was on purpose.

It's not bad, but still pretty weak. This is the first time I see it, so it definitely didn't go viral. It would probably work better if more people made fun of the MRM instead of acting like they are some evil organization with so much influence, who need to be censored and destroyed.
The problem is, the MRM is a joke. Yet it almost feels like the left is scared of them.

You can’t really take extremism as a joke. The extremists don’t think it’s a joke and they will do all they can to make sure they are noticed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The MRM are not extremists. They are constantly accused of causing harm to women with their rhetoric, but they never explain how. Somehow, talking about false accusations and the lack of due process when it comes to rape investigations, leads to more women being raped. Somehow, talking against gender quotas, will cause women to fail in bussiness....etc.
However they never really achieved anything. They never really do anything significant. And they definitely don't act like extremists. We are talking about the MRM not ANTIFA.

I'm a men's rights activist. How is that a joke? And, before you answer that question, ask yourself something: when has there ever been a society where the most victimized demographic within that society wasn't unjustly the butte of everyone's jokes? I'd sincerely, with no trace of scorn, invite you to ponder that.
"Yet it almost feels like the left is scared of them."
Yeah. They should. First they ignore you, then they mock; then they fight you: then you win.

I don't think the solution is the MRM. Cos unfortunately it became an incel gathering. Acting like feminists is not gonna lead to any solution.
I don't want the left to fear anybody except real extremists. I want them to wake the fuck up. I want to burst their bubble.

"Cos unfortunately it became an incel gathering."
Can you prove that generalization? Because, frankly, I roll my eyes at that formulaic stereotype.
"Acting like feminists is not gonna lead to any solution."
I think you're, with all respect, perpetuating a false dichotomy. Unlike feminists, MRA's don't want special privileges enshrined in law and culture based on gender. We just want the equal rights and responsibilities under the law.
"I don't want the left to fear anybody except real extremists. I want them to wake the fuck up. I want to burst their bubble."
What's wrong with being an extremists: I'm an extremist because I say things like, 'Socialism is evil.'; when the intensity of that evil can literally be measured in mass graves.

I like the allegory!! It can be applied to so many situations - just change the hats.

Clever boy, Jack.
But really. The Left can not meme.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It's an allegory for memetic trends. It's not that the Left literally cannot meme—that is socially impossible—memes are the communal/cultural equivalent of inside jokes. Memes are ideas and beliefs that can be spread from one organism, or group of organisms, to another. The only way for a group not to meme is for the group to be dead or, more likely, not exist in the first place.
The Left can meme, but the Left makes memes for the Left. They are insular, e.g. only really understood by and are relevant to Leftists and Left-leaning groups.
"The Left Can't Meme" is in an of itself a meme; critical of a group (the Left) and its inability to perform a certain action (generate and/or propagate memes that are enjoyable regardless of partisanship).

It's not an attempt of humour. It's a serious opinion and worry in the shape of a comic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Let me put it this way: some people get a joke, some people don't, and others joke about either getting and/or not getting the joke, while another get's upset because of the content of the joke, and still another makes fun of the previous group for getting upset at the joke.
This, in it's entirety, are the four groups of comedy. Welcome to the jungle. I hope you wore good socks.

It's also the whole thing with the left being "NPC's" that jsut repeat each other and the same lines over and over.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think that's the same thing but that's on me. The joke Jack's pushing follows a pattern of human interaction, reaction, and propagation of a meme that falls flat but that's not really significant, Sturgeon's Law is universal.
Repetition of patterns and repetition of statements are two very different things. The evolutionary development of our brains causes us to notice and follow patterns in nature, sorta why we find perfect shapes like squares and circles but these things do not occur in nature. More on that in a moment.
Pattern recognition is something almost wholly unique to humans—I think orca and a few breeds of dolphin have something similar but don't quote me—and we have evolved this ability into what is now called mathematics and the sciences.
The NPC label of most Leftists came about from redundancy in the presentation of information. Someone noticed that a lot of the Activist Left keep reiterating literally the same thing. I acknowledge that language isn't perfect, and humans expression of thoughts through language isn't perfect. Formulation of thought and expression and language is what people do to communicate. As a viewpoint is continually argued, an opinion should shape itself to be processed in as efficient a way as possible to present facts as facts without being misconstrued in the Gordian knot that is human linguistics. The NPC meme comes from Left-wing Activists not doing that and repeating their stances verbatim when argued.
Getting back to the squares and circles thing. There is no such thing as a perfect shape in nature, look at coastlines, rock formations, or rivers for example. Perfect uniform and equilateral lines shapes are artificial. A person will likely not repeat the exact same thing over and over again unless they are programed to, like an NPC's dialogue. It's the difference between saying something differently and saying something the same way. Have you ever rephrased something because of how you said it conflicted with what you said? Or what you said wasn't what you meant? HUman language follows a similar principle.

But... can the left meme tho? What are the recent big, obviously left memes? Ofc political memes. Cos the "left can't meme" thing is only about political memes. Guys. Help me out with some good left memes. My centrism is desperate for some good leftie memes, to balance the right and center memes.

Would the term: "Mango Mussolini" be considered a meme? If the term is used without explanation almost everyone knows what it means.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
First time I heard about it. Well. I think it falls flat cos Trump is very far from being a fascist. Being pro free speech and pro gun and all. But I must say it has it's qualities. It sounds like the titles Trump give to others. So I get the joke. But I really never seen it before. Not on 9gag. Not on other meme sites either. None of my very left wing friends use it either. For it to be a good meme, it has to be well known. Like Pepe. Or the now dead NPC meme.

All I found is a trans youtuber called Contrapoint. Apparently she is big-ish? And this is referencing her character, Tiffany Tumbles? I didn't really watch the entire video that is the source to be honest, cos I kinda got lost which character should be representing what stereotype. I guess I need a bit more context for it.

Almost any Trump origin meme sounds like name-calling or an insult. Perhaps the left doesn't meme because they don't want to sound like red-hats.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why not? Name-calling and insults are a staple in comedy. It's mostly just for fun. Popular political memes are mainly for fun. Like the "left can't meme" thing. People take it so hard, even tho it's not a dick.
I think the main problem is, from my outsider, eastern European perspective. Is that the culture war is a big ridiculous bullshit to begin with. And the "left" which is really just a fringe, far left and very vocal minority, takes everything so hard. Really. From the outside? What's going on in the west, it's pretty comedic. And it's probably comedic for the silent majority of the west too.

I see your point. From inside the circus seems important. From outside they are a bunch of clowns. Yes, comedy can be fun. But the clowns turn evil when they have political leverage.
As I've said elsewhere, I see the two political parties as Vampires and Werewolves fighting over those golden levers of power.

There is some strong insanity in the comments

Is this a joke on the right or how you think the left see the right?
Cause most people who say the left can't meme aren't really political they are just memers who don't like politics.

The red hats would suggest that JollyJack thinks Trump supporters, who frequently wear red hats, don't understand meme's and how they get propagated. That's how I interpret the cartoon. The right/left aspect depends how many of the right wear red hats.

Very few. They have lives to live.

Are you suggesting wearing a red hat shortens one's life.
