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

Xi looks annoyed that he's reading another letter from hexbear asking him to abolish the commodity form.

It's a lever! Anything else is revisionism.

Everyone knows the communism button is a Rube Goldberg style machine that, when pressed, releases a slice of Swiss cheese in front of a rodent on a hamster wheel, whose spinning motion unravels a string holding back a marble that rolls down a tube to knock over a domino, which knocks over several more dominoes that ends up activating a model train set, which runs over the power button of a laser pointer, which makes a nearby housecat to swipe at the on/off switch of a fan, which blows a ping pong ball into a otherwise balanced scale, which holds a pair of scissors which rises to cut a string holding a bucket of water directly above the seat in the oval office, drenching [insert sitting US President] with water thus creating Communism

Have you even read Marx?

The later volumes of Kapital get pretty weird, huh?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, having a timestamped URL to a Youtube video was an odd addition to 2 Das 2 Kapital and it was an odd decision to be included in a physical book a century before the invention of the internet but I guess Marx and Engels were ahead of their time.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

mmm yes, a new wave of leftist infighting on the nature of the communism lever/button. and if it's a button, is it a flimsy rubber dome construction or a proper mechanical switch?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

It's a lever and button arcade setup. Xi is busy practicing his wombo combo cancel into full communism super

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

While the range of motion in the lever encapsulates the great ebb and flow of our Circadian Rhythms, its mechanical song a dedication to the proletariat spirit, a mighty phallus swinging as the electromagetic poles shift to signal a new aeon, nothing can compare to the frictionless immediacy and punctual sex appeal of a big red button. If I were Dr. Frankenstein, I could delegate a lever pull to a subordinate and still enjoy myself, but if I were a USian president, I would slam my fist on the ALL NUKES LAUNCH button before I even read the label.

Analog switches are also acceptable!

Eric Clapton: "My dream, is to have a tiny man living inside Xi's ass, and controlling Communism with Chinese Characteristics with a bunch of levers and wires."

Commie leader gets two cups of tea while his people mly get one, smh

[–] [email protected] 37 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Back in my day, 1 cup would suffice for 2 whole girls. Does Xi's greed know no limits?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

I'm curious where you can go with 2 cups 4 girls

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

berdly-smug The so-called "communists" actually PAY for their tea, proving that their system is just state capitalism!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

Xi's about to shit his pants. I know what I'm talking about.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago

Millions of white men were killed for this despot to sip oolong and chill.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Xi looks so fucking tired in this pic

"keep posting Winnie the Pooh memes, he's starting to crack!"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I'm already tired explaining the One China policy to libs. I can't imagine the workload he goes through.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Mildly related but I was a grown ass man when I learned the striped shirt boy isn't meant to be Jughead from Archie, but the crown was an actual fashion trend during the 30's.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It was?? Where'd it even spawn from? It seems that childrens' fashion usually reflects grown-ups' fashion but with less uniformity, are the crowns perhaps inspired by some kind of entertainment figure?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They're called whoopee caps and the story I was always told was they were made from fedoras that had their brims cut into the crown pattern. My grandpa had one from when he was a kid.

They were also associated with mechanics.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah, that explains why they have that look. It's always interesting to see how people manage to turn a thing (fedora) into something new by just modifying it slighty. You don't see hats around as much nowadays anymore too, crazy to think of how common they were before cars took over.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I think at first it was practicality. Everyone wore a fedora all the time, but people in mechanical trades would invert them then cut off the brim so it didn't get caught in machinery. Then kids started imitating the types of hats their dads were wearing.

Me double fisting caffeine before some shitty work meeting

"Two cups of tea, Xi? That's insane!"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

i-think-that muted cool colors would look better for a room's aesthetic

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Reminds me of the fabled tale of Donnie two scoops

That was really fucking funny
