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

reactionaries like you believe everything the CIA says today, then disbelieves everything they declassify 60 years later. Which is funny, since they only declassify things once they're low stakes, and have fallen out of public attention, and no longer matter strategically. If the CIA said "we have nothing to do with this coup against socialists in Latin America" 60 years ago, you'd have believed them. But if today they were like "yeah we totally did that shit." suddenly you're willing to call them The Lie Machine. You believe them whenever they are lying, and you disbelieve them whenever they finally admit the truth. This is because you believe what is convenient to your reactionary anti-worker national chauvinist ideology.
