Deflection

When politicians come under fire for missteps or failures, they often rely on the technique of trying to shift the focus onto others. In an attempt to duck responsibility, scrutiny, accountability, they often create "scapegoats" to shift blame onto. They try to lay their failures at the feet of others or make a way to justify them. They may try to shift the debate entirely onto a completely irrelevant and different subject. One example is to make a drastic decision that completely shifts focus from the previous subject of scrutiny onto this new drastic change or subject brought into light by the government. Seen commonly by politicians and on a less refined level , regular people supporting a political party or figure in arguments or debates, or as a psychological attempt to manipulate others in regular domestic situations. In politics the tactic is entirely strategic and is arguably one of the most devious and disreputable in the eyes of honest morality and accountability, but is quite common in politics around the world.

When Soviet leaders were questioned about human rights violations in the USSR, for example, they might've come back with, "Well, what about the Negroes that you Americans are lynching in the South?" - One example of a political deflection

The Great Meme Depression

Lasting from around May through June 2017 and on, memes have not been lasting and are low-tier memes. Most are normie-fied so the meme economy has been backed into a corner.

"Why have all the memes been shit lately?"
"It's because of The Great Meme Depression my dude."

definition depression

The feeling you get when your Urban Dictionary definition doesn't get published. This is caused by a bunch of faggots called editors who refuse to publish.

Person 1: Hey.
Person 2: I'm sad.
Person 1: Why?
Person 2: I've got the definition depression.
Person 1: Oh. I hate those damn editors, too.
