the reason there’s no opposite of “owning the libs” is because that whole meme is vengeance for all the ownage the libs pulled off from 1998-2008, which looked exactly like this

Idk you can stretch the window further a bit in each direction but stuff like this and “flying spaghetti monster” religion is a classic liberal neg. that was really the period that the libs usurped cultural dominance and the “owning” meme is just the pendulum swinging back

I don’t think I buy this reading. It’s not revenge for past behaviors. It’s a response to perceived current behavior/continuing contempt. The revenge part is being executed by others at a different level (rewinding Obama era policies etc).

Replying to and
we're both right in that current liberal "cultural hegemony" and contempt for the right is only the current extension of liberal derisive/cynical humor jabs of the early 2000s... a defense mechanism developed to protect the conservative collective psyche from inferiority complex?

In fact you could argue that the actual patronizing behavior expressed itself not through mocking humor but insincere praise/flattery of “real Americans” etc in advertising and political campaigning. That cuts much deeper. It’s like being infantilized and treated like 5 year old
