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

I may be tied to the track now but one day I'll be driving the trolley

I know the situation is dire, but we mustn't fall into doomerism. We need to use these dire times to build ourselves up, to get more informed and more class conscious, to become better Marxists, to help each other and our communities, and to propagate our ideals and grow our movements. Think of all the work done by socialists in the 20 years leading up to the Russian revolution, without it, there wouldn't have been an October revolution.

help I am actually tied to the track. (the track is time). why is there a cat screaming outside my apartment?

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Why wouldn't the cat be screaming? In fact, if you knew what the cat did, you'd be screaming too.

time comes for us all.

kitty-birthday-sad Unfortunately, the clock is ticking. The hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting. Do you understand?

there is a lever but all it does is lower a projection screen to obscure the view of the trolley

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

The lever makes Tim Walz turn a big dial that says "NATIONAL CHAUVINISM" on it while looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on The Price is Right. Ya, you betcha.

How else can I enjoy my bottomless mimosas?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

It makes it look like everyone on the track is smiling and giving a thumbs up

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Is that really all you can do? Watch?

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Technically no, but it do feel that way a lot of the time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I would love to hear some ideas

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

No, but trying to stop the train usually puts you on the tracks in front of it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Or not watch

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

this, but where the trolley company doesn't bother with rails but instead just breeds people to put under the trolley, and you keep turning up to work each day to drive it.
