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

Settler colonists are trained from birth to advocate that bygones be bygones because that's the only moral framework under which they can even try justify living on stolen land.

Therefore, other people remembering history is a direct threat to the anglo settler colonists and they will react accordingly.

I never thought of it like that, it makes so much sense why Americans and anglos think that way.

Ugh I immediately thought of how reporters were asking the victims of the Charleston Church Shooting immediately after if they forgave the killer.
