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

Sometimes I feel that talking to liberals is genuinely like talking to children who understand nothing. They give you the same blank ass stares too.

To them, history and world events are just people walking into rooms and saying things.

Imagine trying to interpret the "base vs. superstructure" understanding of society, except completely ignoring that the base even exists in the first place. Like, it doesn't even occur to them.

An even worse trait of modern liberals is their cynicism - an active dismissal of any coherent framework for politics or history

Yeah I don't get it. We have theories for literally everything else in the world. Gravity, evolution, etc etc. But oh nooooo not for society and history, that's not allowed.

Sorry, I use lived experience to analyze politics, not nerdy theory

Funny thing is, lived experience led me to theory.

They're just that oblivious, either that or they're petit bourgeois who've never felt the effects of exploitation.

I only have a problem with "lived experience" when people subsitute it for studying politics
