      He was in China years ago during his presidency when this pic was taken.

      I don’t know the specifics but it was likely official business.

      What’s even more cringe is that the only reason they became popular is because of extreme censorship by the CCP. Fuck Xi right in his pussy.

      It’s weird to see. Like I get worrying about politics going on now and making jokes about it to cope, but this seems detached from that. It seems like making posts to spite some nebulous pro-China boogie man that I haven’t run into or easily ignored, but it’s posted in a place where that issue doesn’t exist. I just can’t tell who it’s for.

      Though, I don’t really care for the “post this cat repeatedly” joke either. Maybe I’m just old now.

        Exactly. Either edgy anti China teenager or inorganic bot posting. But it feels out of place. And look at the tsunami of downvotes I got. Is anywhere on the internet not botted to shit???

            I’m not even mad. mf should’ve embraced the cute image of a silly old bear; that’s how Obama killed the “thanks Obama” meme

          Personally I saw the shitstorm that came about from the other popular one and the post getting locked before I could reply so just made a post that was basically my comment.

          Fire queer meme are awesome too and I love to see them (I’d like to think I’ve shared a few but I’m sure there’s a lot that think my memes are shit)
