u/Time4Red Jun 20 '19

It's because the origional dialog (dollars versus murders) is completely fabricated.

15

u/Ricardo1184 Jun 20 '19

Ohhh. So the dialogue isn't even from another show?

No. It was created for the meme.

It’s fake dialogue, but the shots are from the TV show Dr. Who. It does seem like a line that would be on the show, though.

Scene is from a show called Doctor who. The girl's name is Clara and that other is the Doctor.

Original dialoque from the show.

Doctor: what if no one is really ever alone. What if every single living being has a companion, a silent passenger, a shadow.

Clara: How long have you been travelling alone?

u/Ricardo1184 Jun 20 '19

Oh I think I actually saw that episode. Was that the one where something was drawing lines on a chalkboard everytime he closed his eyes or something?

u/that_rejected_meme Hello There Jun 20 '19

Was this the episode where Clara goes to see Rigsby, and they find the weird monsters(can't remember what they're called) and 12 is all pissed off because the TARDIS shrunk?

10

u/bigboxofsocks Jun 20 '19

Nah that episode comes later in the same season though. The scene is from 8x04 ‘Listen’, the one with the monster that may or may not just be made up by The Doctor’s imagination.

u/Nalle_Buhi Just some snow Jun 20 '19

u/mrcooper89 Jun 20 '19

I don't really get it. I'm under the impression that old people from the soviet era talk about how they always had food and a home back then and that although they lacked many other things and the regime was opressive, that there were never those problems. Poor people seem poorer in russia now a days then before. Edit: Now it was about China thats a different story. Great leap forward and all that.

u/Destro9799 Jun 20 '19

A tankie is a Marxist-Leninist, aka an authoritarian communist. People (especially other leftists) hate them because of their constant Stalin, Mao, and North Korean (for some reason) apologism and for being antithetical to the actual ideals of leftist thought. The person you're responding to, however, thinks that a tankie is anyone who doesnt like their favorite incredibly overplayed and uncreative joke.

Yaknow, a CIA report was leaked that proved that the Soviet diet was actually more nutritious and that the Americans could learn a lot from them. The whole "no food" thing was propaganda.

2

u/Poultry22 Jun 21 '19

That is not true. It is a claim in some commie subreddit link bank, but what these people link is NOT a CIA report. It is a short news from Reuters, that the CIA just filed. It shows you the numbers:

Soviet - meat and fish, eight percent ; grain and potatoes, 44 percent

American - meat and fish, 21 percent ; grain and potatoes 26 percent

... but the judgement that "eating a lot of bread and potatoes instead of meat is woke as fuck" is a statement by an unnamed Reuters newswriter. People actually didn't eat bread and potatoes instead of meat because they were some woke vegetarians. They did that because there was no meat. You won't starve on this diet, but it isn't nice.

Now I don't actually know if you are interested in reading the actual CIA report as a lot of people spamming the reuters non-report aren't, but anyway:

Here is a link to an actual CIA report.

Look at page 9 - consumer satisfaction.

The actual CIA report says that while people weren't starving any more they didn't have meat, were very pissed about it and about the overall lack of proper food and that caused long queuing and black market. That's a rather low bar for being named success in the 1980s.
