I am not sure which is more cringey, the litany of erroneous assumptions you splayed out or the act of calling upon the student archetype with the intent of derision. Anti-intellectualism, check. src

sooo many panels

im sooo sleepy 😴😴😴

It's 3 panels repeated.

Please go easy on the special ones.

But I had to read them all in case you changed something. So many letters!

Can you read it to me?

You're an NPC

true dat

It’s funny when you think about how fascist twitter is when they killed 1500 NPCs overnight

They continually prove all the things SJWs say about privileged white boys true.

Exactly, and black men who only fuck white women are racist

Are those golems? I like that pic if those are golems.

Yeah

Thanks haha may I save it?

Sure, it's not mine. It's kinda new, but google golem npc and you'll find some more.

The first thing I've ever seen that deserves an unironic oof.

😵😶😬

👏 YAAASSS 👏

How many levels of centrism are you on?

80T Gigawatts

System.out.println("LMAO BA$T3D CENTR1ST!1!");

There ought to be a fourth panel, where the non-NPC radical centrist is masturbating with fire.

why are centrist bold with no hat

we're all NPCs

Hard determinism ftw.

That's such an NPC thing to say

This but unironically

NPC

Just have no opinions and you will be safe

lol var declations in CapitalCase in python. absolute codelet.

Found the nerd! Swirlie time!!

The only way to think for yourself is to adopt some obscure totally off the wall position that no one else knows about.

Corn is a living god and keeping it in cans is blasphemy

I meant like political views, rather than religious ones. But you can also do it for religion. I say I am a transtheist and surrelativist and no one knows how to respond because they don't know what it means. Then I claim victory while both metaphorically and literally jerking myself off.

N A Z B O L G A N G

This but unironically

We are all NPCs on this blessed day!

Great, except for the Java code.

youre all sheeple

:^|

Needs a GIF, OP. Scrolling does not do it justice.

Sorry I can't make gifs because I'm retarded.

I believe NPC is the socially accepted term in the current meta

I went to see some relatives last night and my cousin unironically started to talk about liberal 'NPCs'. And they got into a discussion where they repeated the same talking points the right has been saying for as long as I've been alive. I think the irony of them following this pre-scripted conversation was lost on them.

Dude NPCs lmao

I can't even imagine being so autistic I get into conversations with people about Memes.

How do you live?

his redneck cousin obviously brought it up out of nowhere as woke pedes do when out redpilling normies.

normies.

If literally anyone ever talks to you about Memes in real life you aren't a Normie.

I've never had it happen because people know I think you deserve a ass kicking for that nerd shit.

My mayo you obviously never interacted with real human beans often enough some of the most mayo of mayos ask people if they have heard of reddit then when they are told no describe to them some "really funny memes"

real human beans

Sounds like you are a nerd who hangs out with Nerds

That's the most bizarre part. Liberals and leftists are going to have many stupid people, but conservatism is literally about not thinking for yourself in favor of supporting traditions.

That's a good point. It's a long steam of people parroting bad new ideas and a counter steam of people parroting bad old ideas.

You can think for yourself and come to the conclusion that, what's been done is correct and should be continued.

You can think for yourself and arrive at whatever you want. But the point it is that it is an ideology that doesn't encourage doing so. Its not encouraging you to arrive at it after testing all ideologies, but to simply accept it.

Convervatoids never claimed to be smart and the left seems to get off when talking about how much smarter they are than average cookie because they aren't antivaxers or flat earthers.

the important thing to remember here is that anyone attempting to paint this as BOTH SIDES is trying hard to make people forget that the right came up with this meme and triggered the left so hard that it got worldwide mainstream press coverage

This is nothing to do with forgetting where the meme came from and everything to do with the fact that both sides are NPCs and it's only the radical centrists that have any sort of free thought.

Dude NPCs lmao

Dude bots lmao

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

 If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads. (Info / Contact)

it's only the radical centrists that have any sort of free thought

Couldn't agree more to be honest.

/pol/tards are NPC for dumb nazbol memes more than weird boomer MAGA stuff. Nobody posting the NPC meme on /pol/ was pro Israel.

Fuck you the right stole this meme. They didnt create it.

It is very likely it originated on /pol/.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 imagine being this wrong. It was on biz and fit first stinky

Dude it's just a variation of brainlets and normalfags.

Stolen and ruined by /pol/. Sounds about right.

wow imagine knowing exactly which specific boards on 4chan where a stupid meme was created. Pretty gay

^ no coiner npc

It was on biz

Same difference really.

printf("Russian bots!!!\n")

> printf

\ a \n

absolute codelet.

Get lost pajeet

um sorry sweaty thats /u/pisserpatterwater

Did it? I still only ever see this on reddit.

Started as some high dude on 4 Chan. Said he believed in reincarnation, but only like 20% of humanity had souls to reincarnate. The rest were just shells with enough intelligence to speak, but otherwise just emotional animals. The kind of people who, when asked an honest question, shut down or get enraged, instead of engaging in debate.

This quickly became correlated with a study that showed a lot of people don't have inner monologues.

The right put two and two together and used it to explain sjw types, which exploded on Reddit. So technically it was a 4Chan origin.

who gives a fuck about memes, except retarded children? no one was fucking triggered, twitter shut down a bunch of russian bots spreading the idiocy.

Russian bots...lmao

Lefties will never have a chance on the meme front. Thousands of bitter basement dwellers channel all their creativity in making memes while they are outside destroying the world with interracial marriage and homosexuality and such things.

Its also funny because liberals will end up using it soon. Just like they started using safe spaces and snowflakes. I don't know if its flattery that they imitate the right, or its sad because they actually can't meme.

That's the point of this meme you retard.

Is it, faggot? Because I think the point is that both sides are NPCs. They're both regurgitating talking points. What I'm saying, and read closely this time moron, is that the left just uses the memes the right comes up with because they can't come up with their own. Jesus what a faggot.

Dude NPCs lmao

Liberals have already starting using the meme and this is what it has come to - just throwing the same thing back at one another. It's not something that will happen soon, it happened right away because it applies to everybody.

And trying to be good at or caring about memery is one of the most autistic things one can do.

Sitting on the fence does not a freethinker make. That being said I've seen a lot of people wearing maga hats act like those mezmorized by Obama.

nice hot take idiot

Takes one to know one, fooool

No U

What happens next

MAGA NPCs came up with it first, and that’s never ever going to change.

Imaging taking credit for coming up with a new term for sheeple

Sheeple never made the headlines.

Yeah it did retard. Sheeple is an ancient term.

An article about how the term 'sheeple' anthropomorphizes people and how that's terrifying would be nice.

There are literally thousands of think pieces made before the npc meme on how terms that dehumanize political opponents are bad. It's like pre ww1 shit dude.

Literally thousands! None of them survived the sands of time though.

Holy fuck dude do you actually think the npc meme is the very first time this shit has been reported on? Please please tell me you aren't that fucking dumb.

Using a blanket term to dehumanize or mock opposition is ancient. The fucking Romans did it.

Ctrl-F "sheeple," 0 results found. Sorry bud, might want to look at more contemporary sources.

Also these aren't headlines.

Are you 15? When do you think the universe began? We've had fucking world wars. Does the word "kraut" tell ring a bell? Where do you think "gook" came from? Did you know the germans called Americans "Indians" during ww2? Your scope is so fucking limited you'd thibk you were viewing the world through your anus

I was referring to the term “sheeple” specifically. Then some people did some goalpost switcheroo and now we’re talking about if dehumanization has happened ever? Where do you think the word came from?

The bad news is you're a pedantic autist. The good news is that you'll fit right in at r/politics

Fulfilling 1 out of the 3 criteria and complaining about pedantry when questioned about the other 2 seems like pretty NPC behavior.

I'm not gonna have a fucking debate on r/Drama with a teenager. You're arguing an absolutely autistic point.

I'm arguing the point.

You are as dumb as a box of rocks my man

Better than rightist NPCs making headlines for all the wrong reasons, forcing society to curb everyone else's freedoms/rights all because the right can't fucking get along on anything that doesn't involve white supremacy.

Now go suck off your fellow NPCs, sheeple.

if(person.getPoliticalAffiliation() >= Stalin) {      print('WHITE SUPREMACY"); }

We're all NPCs in Stacey's life :(

And Staceys are all NPCs in my life.

mhmm actually not an incel guys, j-just a volcel

Not even a cel.

REEE this is a loser only sub PLEASE leave!!

I go where I please...and please where I go.

But some NPCs are in Stacey's mom

How else would Stacey have spawned?!?!?!

I know people are trying to equivocate but the reality is that the culture is being dominated by leftist thought. There are NPCs on all sides but we are inundated in the lefts NPCisms. So much so that they are arguing against due process and freedom of speech which should be the pillars of any enlightened society. So we can deal with right NPCs later but we can't pretend they are as big of a threat then lefts NPCs.

Why should anyone here deal with any kind of NPC? They're both good for dramacoin.

Also, implying leftists have ever been a threat since Lenin, lol.

Useless idiots with power are still a threat.

All i see with this NPC talk is “WAKE UP SHEEPLE”. There’s always a couple words but nothing being said.

the culture is being dominated by leftist thought.

Yeah. Living in a society where people like fucking obama are called socialists sure makes me think its dominated by leftists.

We also live in society where they call Trump a fascist. Not sure how that is possible either.

Calling someone who is hard right with an authoritarian streak a fascist for emphasis is not the same as thinking that the center right and the far left are the same thing.

All presidents are authoritarian to someone. So again you are npcing hard right now.

Pretending to be stupid isn't going to make your point any better.

I spend every waking hour on reddit and youtube watching content and videos produced by center-right leaning people dooming and glooming over extreme left sentiments

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Did you at least hit like and subscribe? Did you SMACK the notification bell?

Left isn't the same as leftist.

while i disagree with the guy you replied to, i have to ask, whats the difference?

while i disagree with the guy you replied to, i have to ask, whats the difference?

Left is all encompassing, like even a Democrat couple be considered left, but leftist is very specific and refers to Communists.

and socialists?

Yes that entire umbrella group regardless of what name they call themselves.

'an' NPC

You choose between "a"/"an" based on the phonetic pronounciation, not the letter itself. NPC is an acronym so it's pronounced enpeesee so you should use "an".

Like “an hour”

Owned them epic style 😎

Not good. Can't be funny without an observation that's true. The left can't call the right NPCs lol. Weeeew

Did you hit your head?

found the npc.

Broswed TD a few days ago and had this thought. Funny how they don't realise it.

I think my favorite part of being an independent is getting banned from all the left wing and the right wing subs for having the audacity to say something that doesn't follow the party line. Liberals and conservatives both being NPCs truly could not be any closer to reality.

Dude NPCs lmao

I'm better than everyone else.

But what if centralists are NPCs too?

Dude NPCs lmao

Hey guys look how TOTALLY NOT MAD this npc meme makes me. Did I say how THIS MEME DOES NOT BOTHER ME AT ALL?

LOL RECURSION DOES ANYONE ELSE JAVA 101 HERE IN R DRAMA XXXXXDDDD

Very intelligent, high IQ opinion. Find OP and send him to Harvard.

you mean /r/drama's stance on it, right

Can I get a faq on how to become an enlightened centrist? I’m way too far to the right at the moment and it’s alienating my peer group.

Whenever anyone asks your opinion on something just say that there are arguments on both sides and everyone is wrong.

It's more like Righty: You're an NPC

Lefty: STOP DEHUMANIZING ME!!


Lefty: You're a russian bot

Righty: lol okay fucking retard.

k

Lol okay fucking retard.

npc.print("fuck you retard 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡")

npc.print("no u 😭😭😭😭");

You tried / 10

you're really bad at comics

no u

Please don't adopt this terrible meme, it's much more funny to make fun of morons than complain how they're NPCs. You can't even properly laugh at anyone if they're just an NPC.

The problem with this meme is that it isn't actually an interesting joke, it's just "hurr durr everyone I disagree with is subhuman". However the lazy, untargeted nature of the thing means that you can use it to shittily make fun of any opinion, imo that's better than ignoring it because it shows how stupid the whole thing is.
