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

Most people in capitalist countries never leave the economic bracket they were born into. Capitalism is a primitive system of elites and peasants, filled with squalor and death.

my favorite story about human nature is when the Spanish (who didn't bathe because of human nature) thought that people were burning incense to praise them as gods, but it was actually because they smelled like a butt hole. nahuas and their neighbors had universal education AND hygiene AND high living standards.

but I can't argue with human nature, the Americas aren't full of historical counterfactuals at all.

AND exploitation AND social climbing AND duplicity AND violence AND murder
