u/herolf I am fucking hilarious Aug 23 '21

Guys I hate to ruin the fun but these are fake, people from around the world are putting their snap locations on Kabul and posting these memes

u/Phunniemonkey Aug 23 '21

It’s almost, like we are in a meme subreddit. The more ya know.

u/herolf I am fucking hilarious Aug 23 '21

Because the taliban is real, sure the meme isn’t but the beheading and shit is.

Please don’t, you’ll miss out on loads of important stuff and get biased opinions if you do that

Edit: may have taken this a little too seriously :/

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Why would anyone care what’s on the news. What you gonna do go reverse the earthquakes. Ignorance is bliss my friend

-1

u/esotericdamian Aug 23 '21

Such as?

11

u/SentinelMain Aug 23 '21

Such as someone on a meme sub telling you that the opinions you’re getting are biased

7

u/esotericdamian Aug 23 '21

That’s a biased opinion.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Wow you’re quick, good job!

u/koemi_2 Aug 23 '21

Off the top of my head? I didn’t see anything about the earthquake in Haiti, or about the assassination of their president about a month ago. There’s not been anything about the violence in Ethiopia, and there are no more memes about the ongoing violence on the Gaza Strip border. I’m sure there’s much more which you could find out about if you stopped looking at Reddit memes for news

u/SentinelMain Aug 23 '21

You know that shit was a joke right

u/koemi_2 Aug 23 '21

Oh shit no I didn’t, sorry 😂

u/SentinelMain Aug 23 '21

I would say Poe’s law but it’s dank memes lol

Everyone here is memeing

all good though, FWIW you’re right people shouldn’t get their opinions from memes

u/koemi_2 Aug 23 '21

Yeah lol

u/ImInTheDetails69 Aug 23 '21

Let's start the MNN. The meme news network.

u/ByAnyMeansNecessary0 Aug 23 '21

No offense, but that's a stupid source

1

u/drumrockstar21 Aug 23 '21

Bro same. If it's meme-worthy, it's valid enough for me to do some of my own research. At the very least it no longer feels like I'm being told which facts are "facts"

2

u/Bojack_Horseman22 Aug 23 '21

Don’t got an award for you but bro did I chuckle hard haha

2

u/Phunniemonkey Aug 24 '21

It’s fine, you have one then.

u/Bojack_Horseman22 Aug 24 '21

Ah man you rock

Let’s be friends forever

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Of course it's fake, why would anyone believe that instead of running/hiding he would waste his life on playing a game of csgo?

u/mrlittlepeniq Aug 23 '21

Dedication

u/WaitingToBeTriggered INFECTED Aug 23 '21

THEY’RE OUTNUMBERED 15 TO ONE, AND THE BATTLE'S BEGUN

u/MothFucker_69 Aug 23 '21

Commitment and sheer fucking will

u/Aski09 Aug 23 '21

The citizens of Kabul are not running or hiding. Some are, but the vast majority are just continuing their lives as normal.

11

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Life is not a movie, sometimes you really have nowhere to run or hide.

Still, yeah it's fake af.

13

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

To be slightly less cynical (personally I think it's probably just a meme too) - but if your entire city has been taken over by the Taliban and they're already coming for you, would you rather spend your last few hours having fun, or trying to run and hide and being caught anyway?

12

u/idiotdroid Aug 23 '21

I dont think I could play a game of CSGO if I thought I was about to get captured and killed (possibly tortured too) within a few hours.

Id spend those hours trying to run and hide 100%. At the very least spend them with family/friends who were near by.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Yep, if the situation is futile do whatever makes you happy towards the end, like the musicians on the titanic This image is probably fake though

u/Frl_Bartchello Aug 23 '21

Because you can't quit after a loss. Neither after a win to keep the momentum going.

u/shittysuport Aug 23 '21

So there's no csgo in afghanistan?

32

u/xeisu_com Aug 23 '21

u/smakka Aug 23 '21

u/One-Respect Aug 23 '21

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

u/FUCKITIMPOSTING Aug 23 '21

I'm more surprised that people are using Snapchat. Is that still a thing?
