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 /c/slop

  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

It's that old deserter guy you arrest at the end. Through the whole dialogue, as he's calling me a lib, I feel it hard.

Well then we could talk about what heroic means. In my opinion for a communist, especially one in prolonged struggle means that they have to see how the material conditions are. If you are not connected to a movement then your action is likely not really furthering the communist movement. His disdain for what came after the failed revolution is fair, but doesn't make him right. He is not the hero in the story either.

He even says that there's in practical terms little physical threat to him should he choose to return to society, so his decision to withhold his knowledge and experience from the movements that actually do exist is selfish, and even if much of his motivation for that is trauma and resentment, he also holds some seriously reactionary views that play into that.

Both important points. The first one I actually not acknowledge itself enough till now. Thanks for your point of view!
