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

Not to be that guy but I think it's important to recognize twitter implying Malaysia executes ideological traitors seems to come from a place of xenophobic/Islamophobic/orientalist misinformation

Like the IMC memes are funny, but Malaysia hasn't executed a single person since 2017, and before that only executed a handful of people for extreme stuff like murder. People talking out their ass like there must be "Sharia Law firing squads" or "public hangings" for political dissidents, meanwhile they've de facto suspended the death penalty since 2018, making them more progressive on capital punishment than the US

Yeah this is the whole "North Korean official executed by mortar round!" bullshit just for a different Asian country. Apparently Asians are just barbaric and uncivilized and can't execute people in the civilized way - a lethal injection that lasts hours.
