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

I remember CNN ran an article about how "in North Korea women are only allowed six different hair styles", and it was illustrated with a pic from a DPRK hair salon with a hairdresser standing in front of a poster with like ten different cuts, none of which the hardresser had herself.

It's just wild how cartoonishly lazy western propaganda is.

It can be lazy because their audience is gullible.

Oh, absolutely. And most people are just going to take a quick glance at the header and file it under "Reasons why North Korea bad". I'm sure very few people actually read this shit.

And because they want to believe it. Choosing to believe it, despite how obviously false all the propaganda is, allows them to feel better about themselves and the countries they live in.

That's because the hairdresser was part of the politburo, she was above the law
