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

One of the more glasses-on moments for me as a nascent leftist was realizing that the quasi-deified Founding Fathers(tm) were almost entirely just 1700s equivalent of today's creepy techbros, including sus sex predator stuff.

The Counter-Revolution of 1776 has some great sections about how the only people worse than the Royal African Company for a slave were the American small business hustlegrinders who tried to cut the small costs of food and proper lodging the RAC treated as the simple cost of flesh-trading.
