dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

As I understand it Mullen doesn't wish he was Chinese, he just thinks it's funny to talk in a fake Chinese accent to the delight of an overweight Greek man

It’s half and half, iirc towards the end of the podcast, the Chinese accents were combined with a partially ironic/partially sincere appreciation for China. I think he was learning mandarin at one point

I fully believe he was learning Mandarin entirely to get practice with actual Chinese language tones so he could speak fake Chinese better

Genuinely nothing will beat his movie pitch of "Me No Dumb" starring Matthew Perry.

Nah he talks semi-unironically about it being the Chinese century and that the west has no chance and they are on a different level. Plus he really, really liked the Chinese family he lived with

They did help him evade the FBI, which is a solid move

Hilarious that his uncle snitched on him because he was explaining ISIS in detail to him. Just reading the Wikipedia page on ISIS is enough to get the FBI called on you i guess
