For me it’s saying, “we can’t joke about anything anymore”. Sirens go off immediately 🚨

    Now see I did not know it was right wing and now I apparently know what a soyjak is even though its the first time I have seen this. Kinda funny that anyone moving in social media circles has a name for folks who are online all the time and politically obsessed and are not themselves. Its feels like one of those things in a cartoon where the clearly nerdy character is yelling nerd at a nerdier character.

      You might recognise a soyjak if you see one, even if you wouldn’t know the name of them. It was based off another meme (wojaks) and took off alongside the COVID-era conspiracy theories. It’s actually interesting that you can notice how the early ones just had a couple of nerdy traits, like a Nintendo Switch, some glasses, and some facial hair, but as it became less of a meme and more of a propaganda technique, they had to become uglier and uglier to clarify that they represented the “wrong opinion”
