What culture is most accurately reflected by Gondola?
The universal culture of depression, wistful thinking of a better time that has past, and world weariness.
dude, the depressive spurdo rehash, lmao
Finland or Canada probably
Lithuanian?
Russia
gondola is international
Alberto "Gondola" Barbosa

Mohammd pls
Gondola goes further. It’s about beauty. As the child of the neo-aestheticist movement that is the now ironically overused ‘New Sincerity’, a Gondola is as silent as a stranger’s knowing nod. The Underground has earned for itself an intense self-awareness through its struggle with the Mainstream for Pepe or the short-lived spelunk into the abyss of Meta-Irony by the likes of Shitpostbot. At the exit of the cave we discovered that the one thing which persists through all those layers of irony was that which attracted normies to their consumeristic corruption of Pepe in the first place—beauty. That’s it: beauty will save our most cherished creations from corruption.
In this way, Gondola is delicate but incorruptible. An ‘edgy Gondola’ is just an armless Spurdo. Gondola is a feeling that comes from the tenderness of the heart we might call a New Naivete: the earnest, childlike understanding that it’s OK to simply feel things, happy or sad. It is a brave, self-aware vulnerability only possible for those who know the loneliness of self-deceit. Gondola is a paradigm of this Post-Irony, just as Wojak’s depression and Pepe’s cynicism were each a paradigm of the Mainstream’s Pre-Irony and the Underground’s Irony. It’s the golden mean between the shallow narcissism of the Mainstream and the desperate cynicism of the Underground. From the disrupted balance between Feel and Frog came the death of Pepe, but we endured Meta-Irony’s trial by fire, and found hope of reconciliation. Pepe lives on through Gondola in the form of this hope.

Many people like it. Many people care about it. But it's not happy.

Sometimes I fear Finland may be too deep in the memes.
Spurdo was a way better meme then Gondola. Gondola is shit meme for newfags.
>>52471789
this desu.
It's literally spurdo with 2 shit sticks as legs
>>52471789
>>52471855
Non-nordics can't relate to Gondola
>>52471948
What does Gondola have to do with being Nordic? Do Nordics innately like shit memes?
>>52465995
fucking hell funland
I am sincerely impressed. My grizzled, "oldfag" heart has seen the light, the first ray of sunshine warming it after a long, long time. Maybe Gondola means there is hope for us after all.
>>52471998
It's the melancholy and depression Gondola depicts, you fat fuck.
>>52471998
I don't even know why you Americans even come here desu.
>>52472109
1.) You're not nordic you're a mongol. Deal with it. 2.) Spurdo is a Finnish meme and represents the peak of Finnish culture on /int/. You disgrace this heritage every time you post Gondola.
3.) Go fuck yourself you autistic weeb
>>52472139
For quality memes. Something you would know nothing about.
>>52472262
Goddamn. Extremely rare spurdo :DDD
>>52472497
DON'T SAVE IT ITS MINE
>>52471998
To understand Gondola requires understanding of nuance and metaphor. As you are an American, I doubt you'll ever develop such capacities.
>>52465995
That makes a lot of sense Finland.
>>52472707
FUGGG :DD I already posted it on r/epicmemesfromfinland xD

Newfag pls go

YOURE TRYING TO MAKE ME ANGRY ARENT YOU?
Post the happy school gondola webm.
I feel like the Japanese concept of "mono no aware" best encapsulates gondola
>Mono no aware (もののあわれ?), literally "the pathos of things", and also translated as "an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera", is a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence (無常 mujō?), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.

Gondola is just a fad. It will be here and gone within the blink of an eye. Spurdo is here to stay.
>>52473740
>tfw posted first gondolas here couple of months ago
>>52472262
>You're not nordic
Uhm, Finland is Nordic. You're mixing Nordic and Scandinavian.
>>52473813
true dat tho.
Gondola is very german in it's feeling of enstrangement and romantic irony
>>52472262
>You're not nordic you're a mongol. Deal with it.

Capped.

>capping a pasta
Why were this creature named as Gondola?
>>52481392
The original picture was of it on a gondola
>>52481392
the name was given by its Italian creator to make it impossible to mistake it for a finnish meme but it didn't work that well.
I miss summer...
>>52480897
Good thing you put in the meme frame.
>>52473740
>it's the highlight of the week
;_;
i needed a new wallpaper so here's oc
Pepe and Wojak are all about acting, and reacting.
Gondola is just an observer, unable to act. His lack of arms is a reflection of this. He is the fifth stage of grief, acceptance.
Gondola no longer feels angry like Pepe, or sad like Wojak. He no longer feels anything.
>>52486598
it's a beaut
>>52486599
Best summary so far.
>>52480897
ebin
>>52486599
damn, I was scrolling down to post about how Gondola lacks arms because he lacks agency and the desire to act
My favourite Gondola.
The real muthafuckin G.
found this one a week or so ago
>>52465995
I have seen the truth
I prefer this kind of Gondola. The falling kind.
how come finns can't draw
