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

You know what I love with mainstream media? Zero explaination, zero definitions, zero further reading, and the strict minimum context. I'm convinced that 70% of the propaganda work is to make these kind of news the least researchable possible so that the few readers who read past the headline have the least possible ways of truly understanding what's happening

What's an injunction, in front of what organisms, how does it work, how were the US sanctions supposed to work and what China is doing to undo them? It's all so vague I can't even start researching myself

seriously, that is exactly how the state media operates. keep people minimally informed and make the bar for finding out facts high enough that most people won't bother and then you can just control their minds with little headlines and soundbites.
