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

Wasn't it hard to get bananas in the USSR and other Bloc countries because United Fruit controlled like 90% of the global nana supply?

I know the "DDR no banana" joke was a psyop by West Germany. I wonder if it was at the behest of United Fruit lol.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that if a fruit requires slavery to arrive in my grocery story then we should just go without, and eat fruit that isn't covered in human blood. But I'm a filthy dirty commie and bananas give me acid reflux, so what do I know?
