Its the fable of the scorpion and the toad. It just illustrates right now why things suck. The people pushing progress are the scorpion we who are just trying to get by are the toad. We stupidly allowed those trying to change things an opportunity and they destroyed themselves and us. Tolerance is a fools game some things cannot ever be allowed to be tolerated.

i like the meme

Wrong. The scorpion used to be owned by Chuck.
Kayden Rogers
this meme patch really boils the story down to a retarded level. Its also implies nihilism to the scorpion, when the original idea is the scorpion is an impulsive self destructive retard who will sting you and die.

>t. scorpion
by other nihilistic morons.

I agree. The meme loses its touch without the happy-go-lucky from saying "but now we shall both surely drown".
The whole thing should be shown.
Lincoln Martin
However the scorpion knew it would sting the frog and die. Which is why it said as it dies "this is my nature." The evil know they are evil and still call themselves good regardless of the trail of human wreckage they leave behind. You know them by their works.

Pro tip - you’re not the scorpion
Matthew King
it's an aesop's fable, really old story. but i'm the same, i noticed it's been repeating these past few months and ive been seeing it more and more in different forms. something jewish is afoot.
Landon Smith
I thought the main interpretation was a parallel to the dark knight Joker and "some men want to watch the world burn", thus identifying with the scorpion. Like the amerilarpers who call civil war want
Lincoln Rodriguez
It's a far right symbol for killing niggers
Blake Morgan
Heh, you guys want a good fable of Aesop?
Check this one out, and tell me the bats don't remind you of someone you may know...
Carson Edwards
The Americans calling for Civil War want their nation, culture, prosperity, and freedom back and a return to traditional values. Modern leftism is the cause of the nations problems and must be utterly crushed or there is no future worth being part of. The left are the scorpion knowingly killing those who tried to help them. Some courses of action always result in predictable ends.
Samuel Gomez
indeed
Thomas Murphy
youre right that it is not the original parable
its a Any Forums update. the scorpion is laughing because he doesnt give a shit if this all collapses. we have no stake in a society aimed against us. so fuck it

>"this is my nature."
>"I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's in my nature."
Unless the wiki is wrong the scorpion is trying not to be a fuckup, just like a junkie trying to get their life back together.
Oliver Scott
It can also be a reference to Under the Sign of the Scorpion
Nathaniel Turner
It's a joke told at the opening of everyfar right rally
Man walks into a bar with a scorpion
Says you serve Niggers here?
Certainly says the barman we are not racist
A pint for me and a nigger for the scorpion
LMAFO
You know because Scorpion's kill niggers it's a coded phrase meaning let's kill niggers
Leo Gutierrez
It's not "leftism" and it's not modern.
Cooper Taylor
If it could resist the urge it wouldn't have been his nature. Just like criminals can resist the urge to commit crimes but when caught they have on average committed hundreds of crimes they were never caught for. The nature of the scorpion is to kill so it did as its instincts commanded it even up to killing itself.
Tyler Cruz
It's about extreme reaction to the malfeasance of the powerful. Gamestop stonks is a good example. People purposely positioned themselves to lose just to bring down the hedge funds. The honkenning is another potential example. Things have gotten so bad that people are willing to risk all to take down their enemies. The government cries out that we'll both drown. And the truckers say the line: "lol, lamao".
Lincoln Baker
accelerations identifying with being an impulsive retard who dies in a pointless and self-inflicted way is actually quite appropriate. lol. lmao. I like the meme now.
Cooper Price
Owen Bell
it makes sense that youre an aussie
you guys have shown yourselves to be chinese tier bootlickers
Parker Ross
Lol, lmao
Thomas Smith
They were laughing at us when they thought we were the only ones who'd suffer and die. Suddenly it's not so funny to them anymore.
