Religion and Politics Rant

religion and politics often make some people lose all perspective and give way to ranting and raving and carrying on like emotional children. They either refuse to discuss it with reason or else they prefer argumentum ad hominem, which is a hell of a way to conduct a discussion. Well, anyhow, not long ago I was talking about the elections and how the campaigns were ignoring the issues and sticking instead to invective and personal crap that had nothing to do with the substantive problems of running a government (which is all true as you know if you followed the speeches and so-called debates of the candidates). Anyhow, one of the guys I was talking with said not a word in the whole conversation except at the end when he suddenly chuckled and said we were all full of s**t and why didn't we all go live in Russia or China if that was the way we all hated the <incomplete>

На изображении два аниме-персонажа: усталый молодой человек держит розововолосую девушку, пока поверх картинки наложен длинный текст о религии, политике, выборах и бессмысленных спорах. Шутка строится на контрасте между претенциозным политическим монологом и абсурдной реакцией собеседника, который в конце предлагает всем уехать жить в Россию или Китай. Такой мем используют как реакцию на чрезмерно длинные, самодовольные политические рассуждения. EN: The image shows two anime characters: a tired young man holding a pink-haired girl while a long text about religion, politics, elections, and pointless arguments is overlaid on the picture. The joke comes from the contrast between the pretentious political monologue and the absurd response of a conversation partner who eventually suggests that everyone should move to Russia or China. This meme is used as a reaction to excessively long, self-important political discussions.
