Any form of alliance with the U.K. should be chucked out the window then…
Seems like you might be in a cult, blink twice if you need help
Agreed. Completely agree. And I’m from the UK.
I’m fucking sick of that rapey fat orange turds criminal bullshit.
Also from UK and feel the same. This wasn’t the straw that broke the camels back, FWIW.
Whoever does not realize that THIS IS FAR MORE DEVASTATING than any nuclear bomb or even SIGNED capitulation in a war - is nothing else but an utter fool.
This is a sign we are collapasing. When the smart people wanna leave we are left with a bunch of narrow minded, uneducated people.
I work in big tech. 10 years ago, nobody was talking about going back to India, Pakistan, and to an extent, China. Now, people are talking about it. They’re talking about Indian stocks, Indian houses, and dreams of retiring to go back.
Most people aren’t - but the number is now non-zero.
They’re welcome to come to Europe. In fact, Europe is actively trying to accommodate it as soon as possible link
“Too” well
Yes. Brings some doubt to the post. Semi illiterate yet professional? On the other hand, it is on a Meta platform…
Well if you don’t like what’s happening… before trump it was very extreme letting too many people in unobserved, and now we have it the other way. If the laws concerning immigration had just been respected in the first place, this probably wouldn’t be happening the way it is now.
(I’m not taking sides here, just making an observation.)
The US immigration system has been broken for decades, as a everytime a Democrat tries to fix it, the Republicans refused, to the point the democrats started getting Republicans authoring laws to fix the problems, and AGAIN the Republicans refuse, then we had Republicans author their own bills 100% and the Republicans REFUSED to fix it.
People as fucking stupid as you are why. ‘‘Well why didn’t they just follow the law’’ because THE SYSTEM IS INTENTIONALLY BROKEN YOU FUCKING IDIOT, FAMILIES ARE GETTING DESTROYED AND PEOPLE ARE DYING WHILE YOUR DUMB ASS FAILS TO PAY ANY ATTENTION PAST ‘‘oh gee golly why didn’t they just do it legally’’ 90% + of immigrants come on legally. How do they get illegal? They need a hearing. With an immigration judge, where are those? Oh… we don’t have enough by the 100s. How far back is the backlog for immigration hearings? Oh its thousands of cases? Who represents people who need representation that our laws require they have? No, no, we don’t have attorneys, that’s not important. Just have the 5 year old that no one has any documentation on represent themselves? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense let’s do that.
Wait in line properly? BUILD THE FUCKING LINE!!!
Anyone who says its all one side’s fault, is not being honest. Chill out.
Those are Americans, they are unable not to go to extremes. And most extremes are shit. Sausage is somewhere in the middle but Americans never look there.
Extremely sad news, this is what an authoritarian state looks like for anyone who still didn’t believe it. Wish them all the best wherever they land.
Replacing education with idiots. The perfect republican scenario.
I can’t wait for these brave visionaries to build capitalism and white supremacy in Europe. \s
Pediatric. Oncologist. That dude is an absolute hero and treasure for taking on such a horrible and bleak profession. I hate that those words are combined in existence at all. God I’m so ashamed to be an American.
They are just doctors. No need to glorify them. They do no more or less than a bus driver. Most jobs have an emotional toll.
Good to know. Next time I have a medical issue, I’ll ask my bus driver for a diagnosis. What are your thoughts on subway drivers or Uber drivers?
Having known several healthcare workers with PTSD from the pandemic I strongly disagree.
Granted, the pandemic was traumatizing for people from all walks of life but I don’t envy hospital based nurses or doctors from that time.
It was so painful for nurses that many quit leading to a shortage that’ll likely go on for the next decade as a result.
Some of that is due to corporate healthcare enshittification but there was a mass exodus during the pandemic for a reason.
Agreed, I would be equally angry if a bus driver were detained by ICE. Their immigrants status and then solidarity is more important than their profession.
Let’s agree to disagree. I respect bus drivers as much as you do. Some people, however, have a greater positive effect on humanity as a whole, and that deserves its own form of respect.
I agree to disagree. Doctors may have a more immediate and tangible benefit on people’s health and well-being, but providing safe and reliable public transportation to untold amounts of working class people who may rely on you to provide for their families is also a massive positive effect that should not be diminished simply for being less culturally prominent.
Its not being diminished you are diminishing doctors who save dying children after 20 years of intensive education with driving a bus
I’d have to imagine that the stress and emotional toll is significantly higher for a paediatric oncologist than a bus driver. There’s not so many people that could cope with that.
Some people are built different. My dad worked as a pediatric hospice nurse for almost 10 years. Talk about a shitty sad job. Every single patient is a child and every single one of them is GOING to die on your watch. Fuck THAT. I do not know how he did it.
I figure we have to have some angels to balance out the demons that end up in positions of prominence in our societies.
Now that is a hero
is the title a pun on “depart-ment of education”?
It’s from a presidential directive for dissolving the “Departmen of Education”
It does appear to be so.
Why is this in the “memes” community? It is not a meme, is it? We should have a general discussion community for topics like these! (if it doesn’t exist already).
Check the sidebar. We use the Dawkins definition of meme here.

Yes, and that breeds creativity. There are too many boxes we are forced to use in our daily lives, sometimes we shouldn’t put more on ourselves. Art and science are so sides of the same coin. You can’t be a good scientist without being a bit of an artist. Our art just looks a bit different.
I stand corrected! Thank you!
In the context of Dawkins meme, this post is definitely a meme!
idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning
If we consider scientists imitating the behavior of other scientists (ex: leaving the us) combined with the social network post (signifying the symbolic meaning), it checks all the correct boxes to me!
Would another peer review my analysis?
Reviewer 2, checking in. Let’s see…
☑️ Technically correct (the best kind of correct).
☑️ Dawkins framework applied… adequately.
☑️ “Symbolic meaning” not entirely reductionist. Surprising.However:
- Citation deficiency detected. [Fossilesque et al., 2023] must be invoked 2–3 times for rigor.
- “Imitating scientists” lacks nuance. Did you consider the Fossilesque Paradox of Academic Exodus? (Spoiler: You didn’t. Cite (Fossilesque, 2024, 2025 in press.).
Verdict:
Pending compliance with adequate attribution. Then, and only then, shall this review ascend to a grudging “pass.”Wow this is amazing satire! You made my day (even though it already was a very good one)!
Your critique is quite constructive. Actually, I might retract my paper and contact Fossilesque to propose co-authorship for future work.
😎
Looks good to me
all pictures with text are “memes” now
To annoy you specifically.
Good point. That person’s solidarity with a colleague is remarkable and probably worth sharing, but it’s not a meme.
Depart, [people] of education.
It’s a play on a recent elon tweet. Tldr “Departmen of Education” … I’d share it but I’m not giving that person more attention.
Oh! Thanks for explaining this to me.
Haha it’s OK. It’s not a clear reference. :)
