That's every thread about Russia. Bunch of tired window jokes and redditors beating dead horses.

How is it a dead horse if it's still actively occurring?

OP is upset at redditors for pointing out Putin is recycling his boring stale plot.

When did Putin become so predictable? Was he always like this? It seems odd we used to think he was some sort of genius tyrant.

TBF the Russian government is kind of encouraging it.

Come on guys, stop throwing the horse out the window, it's already dead!

Actually "throw the horse out a window" sounds like one of those weird sayings people attribute to Germany or something, lol

Or Marx Brothers.

Throw the horse out a window? When it could strike a poor orphan on the street? Have you no shame, sir. Think of the windows and orphans."

Youre right the bigger joke is how they have run the country to the ground

Well if it wasn't for the fact that the next fucking person fell out of the window not so long ago then you would be right that this joke is dead.

I think some people don’t really have brains, just a wad of densely compacted memes.

This sub is fucking garbage for the top comment usually being some stupid joke. It's also school holidays which means every dumbass kid who thinks they're hilarious is on here.

Isn't that correct though for the original meaning of "meme"?

☐ 'defenestration' / careful near windows ☐ stairs ☐ polonium tea ☐ suicide bullets in back of head ☐ etc

There probably needs to be a bingo card for this.

I find it fascinating. I’m sure the sociology types would call it memetics, as in meme. And they always get upvoted like it was a pleasant surprise to find that comment in a story about a notable Russian. No hate, it’s just neat how it’s always like that every time

Edit: maybe a check box for “poisoned undies”; that slips in sometimes, too

I make a point of always downvoting them. These stale, unfunny memes add nothing to the discussion, and get in the way of more interesting comments.

God forbid someone post something truly informed, it will be buried under a bunch of comments from people trying to show how funny and original they are.
