dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Nah Samir Amin. Good guess though, Parenti, at least to me, was influenced by similar ideas to Amin. Parenti's quote about the anti communist framework being able to paint anything in a negative light is based on the same ideas as Amin's critique of culturalism. As Amin says, "culturalism can prove any formulation and its opposite."
