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 gotta love the fucking arrows. 20th century communism, famous for spreading beyond national borders and not like mostly abandoning or even sabotaging decolonial struggles in the 50s and 60s.

I love watching "progressives" turn into Ronald fucking Reagan the moment someone suggests a movement other than brunch clubs

Nothing happened to me personally and I'm not going to shit on dbzer0. Just not loving the vibes lately.

I’m not sure but I think you count as a microcelebrity at the moment

None of these people go after the united states as hard as they go after communists with absolutely no power.

Largest imprisoned population, massive exporter of war, hosts almost all the richest most exploitative capitalists in the world, props up dictators around the world, multiple instances of interfering with democracy because they didn't like the result, literally makes children swear allegiance in school, holds the world to ransom every time they don't get what they want, disregards international law.

Thinking it's basically ok with some tweaks? Wholesome chungus opinion.

Largest imprisoned population

It cannot be stressed enough that this figure is NOT PER CAPITA. The US has the largest total number of prisoners of any nation on earth. It's fucking obscene the scale of the US prison system. Unimaginably worse than the worst depictions of the soviet gulag system.

"Hah, silly tankie, don't you know that China also bad? Heh, can't even understand nuance, which is why I have to support the US in order to stop you dumb tankies." smuglord

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 39 points 1 week ago (10 children)

lenin-sure "Oh yeah? Give me a list of countries China has invaded or bombed in the last 40 years then."

[–] yunqihao@hexbear.net 43 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I saw people on 196 unironically call me being kicked out as "wholesome chungus" and "extremely based"

Love that Lemmy was entirely created by communists and Hexbear, ML, and Grad are the OG instances and all these libs think they can just come in here and start litigating us out of a space that we literally created.

Hmmm... Why does that sound familiar?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

literally the entire reason why piefed exists. lol

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Curious that all the bad instances have "fed" in the name

[–] Alfredolin@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Piedefed was too complicated to remember.

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 57 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Of fucking course the chaser-inclusive instance is putting a trans woman on blast for having opinions that make the liberals uncomfortable and ofc they whitewash it by performative "please do not bully the t slur we just put on blast" post. It's always the same with these assimilationist swine.

And of course they expose her like this before even telling her.

[–] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I thought it felt really uncomfortable, really mean-spirited in a way most of the fediverse callout posts really aren't. This is what I felt, isn't it? Fucking hell, the mods of 196 are bad news

I always forget how much of Lemmy lets Hexbear live rent free in their minds. We barely interact with them at all lol.

I hope they get a life one day.

This feud is just so annoying. Just to be clear, I'm not up to date on whatever drama or conflict happened last between the instances depicted, I just find it so stupid. lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear exist since earlier than probably 95+% of instances out there, and these .worlders act like we are the aggressors because we interact on the federated network they chose to use for their FOSS reddit alternative. There's a metaphor for colonisation somewhere in there, but I'm too tired to spell it out.

Edit: I see I fell for the meme. Still, my point stands for every time an actual .worlder or the like accused us of invading their online spaces

Authoritarianism is when you fight fascists, and the more fascists you fight the more authoritarian you are.

there's something serene about seeing 100+ comments and going "i'm not reading that, whatever it is", I think more Hexbears should try it

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

at this point anyone who talks shit about about tankies is just some ignorant fash applogist. fuck em, i have no patience for this nato leftist trash

Incredible western chauvanism in once again depicting se Asia as a bulwark for the colonial outposts. Like a greatest hits record

actual thought crime post removal lmao

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago (12 children)

was that the CIA backed revolution or nah

It’s worth considering it as an early bridge between partisan insertion ops and color revolutions. I’m not convinced that it was US intelligence but it was def reactionary.
