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

I remember when I was 6 years old and knew nothing about the world. A family member explained the basic premise of the Korean War to me, and I sided with North Korea immediately. They chided me about how I don't really know much about it and that the government is oppressive. I wasn't having it. I insisted, as a 6 year old, that it was wrong to go across the world to beat someone up. Still kinda proud about that. What I'm saying is, you in fact don't have to know anything about the world to come to a correct conclusion, just basic empathy and reasoning can result in a correct opinion. Liberals reject this idea in the pursuit of "making tough decisions" and "prosperity".

yeah, the first time my parents explained communism to me, i just blinked and asked why we're not doing that then. they laughed and said my grandma would love to hear this take from me.
