How is the text related to the image? And where is the meme?
It's NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt
The inspiration for these memes was simple: Nazis don’t deserve Saint Dale.
“The idea for the page came about back in early 2017 when the alt-right were trying to make anything they could into a racist meme, including cow’s milk,” said the person behind The Ghost of Ol Dale Earnhardt, who asked to remain anonymous. “I was pretty heavily involved in the Weird Appalachia Facebook group, where Sid Hatfield and Dolly Parton are patron saints of Cornbread Communism, and a huge fan of the Old Stone Cold page. Everything sorta clicked so I decided to combine all these influences and claim Dale as a meme for the rural southern Left, which at the time was mostly either ignored or laughed at.”
What does this have to do with Nascar? Is it just because of all the advertisements on the side?
I also wonder why Dale Earnhardt senior has suddenly been resurrected as the face of this anti corporate sponsorship meme stream when his entire career was entirely corporate sponsored
Because raise hell, praise Dale. Duh.
NASCAR was originally about bootleggers telling the ATF to go fuck themselves. It used to be a counterculture before, like country music, it got appropriated.
And Dale didn't give a fuck about sucking up to rich people.
Nothing. It’s just circle jerking about ceo pay.
This ain't a meme
Facts dont care about your feelings meme /mēm/ noun 1. an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations. "celebrity gossip and memes often originate on the site" 2. an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.
CEOs are the most leeching of scum the human race has ever made
At least when a king or empire extracted money - they'd invest it back into the kingdom in some way shape or form.
CEOs have zero reason to invest back into the labour pool.
For all the people saying "this is not a meme" or confused about what it has to do with NASCAR, here's an article from Slate to fill you in.
This isn't really a meme, it just says how capitalism works. I guess it could be making fun if the stereotypical lefty meme though.
Yeah, it's a Ghost of Ol' Dale Earnhardt meme
Where meme
It frustrates me how much workers have forgotten that they can gain immense power through unionization. Labor regularly votes down having more say in their own workplace. It baffles the mind.
Whoa! So edgy!!
"How do we make Lemmy more popular?"
Let's just shoe horn politics EVERYWHERE
Politic are already everywhere and being used to make our planet unlivable. Sorry not sorry.
And so you're here to save us by posting politics based picture-of-text posts in a meme community, where we come to laugh at stuff.
If we make it less popular with people concern trolling "politics" then we're fine with it.
Every single time we get new nerdy platforms they're cool for a couple years and then the normies come in with whiny nonsense. I do hope the majority of you stay away for many years to come.
Woooo, more agitprop garbage where it doesn't belong, yay tysm
Feel free to downvote.
Im getting kinda tired of seeing this Russian propogandist grayox posting on memes every day
Don't know if sarcastic or wholly ignorant about Christofascist modern Russia..
This guy was on lemmygrad less than a month ago posting the same shit and now they are on lemmy.ml.. thats why I said that.
Lmao I left lemmygrad.ml and deleted all the memes i previously posted there, cause they deleted a comment i made about advocating for voting in US elections. Voting for the lesser of 2 evils (currently the Dems) is the bare minimum every leftist should be doing to protect the Prolitariat to allow class conciousness to form.
