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

Or sometimes “I’m pretty sure the CIA had something to do with [Insert coup/assassination here], they haven’t admitted it yet but it’s perfectly in line with all the other times they did shit”

It really is amazing how many of the leftist "conspiracy theories" are just things that the US government outright admits to doing. It's just "Oh my god, he admit it" all day long.

It's been long enough that if they admitted to killing JFK then no one would care or change anything about their worldview.

No one even gave a shit about Snowden leaks, even though it proves we live in as much of a surveillance state that people claim China is.

I'd rather the Chinese know about my hemorrhoids than the NSA because what the hell is China gonna do about it.

This is my big thing. Even if every single thing the west claims about China were true, I’d still rather China have access to my data than the US, if for no other reason than “China can’t send cops to my door, the US can”

It's weird how many people I've made this exact point to but still go "nah, it's different, those dastardly CCP have some scheme"

People IRL, people on reddit-logo, tech YouTubers telling people to avoid chinese stuff even if you can flash open firmware on it, etc etc.

For example, people were able to figure out the CIA was behind the coup against Mossadegh in 1953 even though the CIA didn't declassify it until 2013... oh hey I also have a meme about that

also "sex workers of color keep dying in this millionaire's mansion and none of his famous friends seem to care."

also "everyone is okay with giving unlimited powers of coercion, detention, and surveillance to the police as long as it's only used against the Bad People"
