I really like Carl Marx. Especially in that movie, Duck Soup. Amazing.

this place is turning into reverse facebook: instead of old men liking any post related to american patriotism, we’re upvoting anything related to communism, and when you look at the comments, its the same response youd see on those facebook posts…

It’s just a play on words, I’m not trying to make a political statement

It’s called re-volution, not just volution.

all the capitalists downvoting this have no sense of humor

xusontha OP ,

It’s not a political statement, it’s just a haha funny wordplay people

adam_kadmon ,

That’s not an example of wordplay and it’s definitely not funny

xusontha OP ,

The funny part is subjective, but how is it not wordplay? It’s playing with phonetics with the second syllable of exercise sounding like seize, then connecting that to a phrase using that word

adam_kadmon ,

Those two words aren’t homophones: size and seize are pronounced very differently (and the second syllable of “exercise” is “er”). It wouldn’t be funny even if there was wordplay involved: communists have killed millions of my and wife’s people and set our countries back for generations to come.

xusontha OP ,

The whole word isn’t, just the third syllable of exercise (I misspoke but you knew what I meant) and the first of seize. If you don’t find it funny that’s fine, but I’m not justifying or making any claims about communists and if you don’t like it you can just scroll past, or you can argue with one of the actual communists on the site.

adam_kadmon ,

No, the “size” in “exercise” is not pronounced the same as “seize” - if you’re pronouncing them the same then you’re mispronouncing one or both. It’s /saɪz/ vs /siːz/, resp. And yeah, I’m going to try to move my account to a non-communist instance, seeing what can only be misguided teens and preteens praising these criminals has got real old. I set this account up 2+ years ago not realising this was a pro-Russian instance.

xusontha OP ,

I’m not making a scientific paper off of it, the fact that /saɪz/ and /siːz/ when pronounced sound similarish was enough for the joke. The fact that you pulled out the dictionary is proof enough that you’re taking this too seriously, lighen up its just a joke.

adam_kadmon ,

That’s just it, it wasn’t a joke but rather particularly vile propaganda pushed onto a meme thread under the pretext of it being “just a joke”.

xusontha OP ,

How is this propaganda? My goal isn’t to make anyone do anything but laugh
