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 !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  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

On the other hand, China reforming Puyi is an extremely powerful argument against murdering the old regime, so your certainly have options.

To be fair, China had the luxury of having him safely in hands for years. Romanovs were few days of being freed by whiteguard army. Soviets did not had options.

Agreed. I wouldn't have done it, personally, but I understand why they did and I think it was a reasonable decision given what the guards knew at the time.

given what the guards knew at the time.

I mean they were correct, Yekaterinburg was surrounded and did fell less than week later.
