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

Survivorship bias was/is a huge factor in "you get more conservative as you get older". Poor people die young.

Old people also break this out when they can't defend their positions on the merits.

Me at 18: “This Bernie guy seems great! We just need the wealthy to pay their fair share, and we can fix education and healthcare and everything will be better!”

Me now approaching 30: “Let the streets run red with the blood of the bankers. Death to America, the Great Satan must be destroyed. Please president Xi, liberate my people. Climate Stalin, unleash your wrath upon this land.”

This sub likes to go even further all the way around the globe, back to authoritarianism!
