It's way, way, worse than you can imagine. It's AWWWWFUL.
EDIT: There's a large overlap with SlateStarCodex if that means anything to you.
There is also /r/SneerClub, dedicated to ruthlessly mocking /r/themotte, but it was never funny enough to keep my interest TBH
It's not really a new meme format, it's used heavily by debate chuds who worship HPMOR over at /r/TheMotte.
I'm fine with attempting to retake it, tho.

ScouT741: Ты хоть с какого города?
fatpenisbarbeque (OP): My Russian/Ukrainian is super botched because I haven’t really spoke it at all since I was 4-5. But I’m from Kiev. Lived in America for 12 years.
nonliquid: food shortages 13 years ago Kiev Пиздишь.
fatpenisbarbeque (OP): Yep, lived in a very poor neighborhood and according to my parents the markets either never had enough food, or when they did it was too expensive for us to get enough. My family’s monthly salary then was about 200 USD in terms of UAH.
Inner_Partisan: Buddy, you were born in 2003, over 12 years after the fall of the USSR. What you're describing is capitalism.
tamagoronin: exactly, what is he even talking about.
