With this lie escalating to violent threats against the Haitian community, we perhaps need to put a pause on joking about this insidious hoax. They are trying to start a race war, and memes likely aren’t helping.

  • I agree with you, but none of the cat jokes I’ve seen really struck me as making fun of the Trump supporters/Nazis. They mostly seem to put the immigrants at the butt of the joke.

    Maybe I’m just not taking the jokes in the spirit they’re intended in. But I don’t think that’s the case.

      Only one I’ve seen was a mugshot of Alf, and if you’re ever seen the show that shit is hilarious.

      I don’t think he was shown eating a cat on the show, but he talked about eating them, and he was literally a furry alien.

      • Oh, I’ve seen that one. Honestly probably one of the few good ones I’ve seen.

        Most of what I’ve seen is stuff that boils down to “This cat/dog defending itself, or scared because it’s going to get eaten”
