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

Just ask who it was that defeated Pol Pot

[–] ourtimewillcome@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

and who went on to support pol pot after that…

we're still fighting the vietnam war, and this is the last battle of that war, and if we have to use the khmer rouge as a pawn in that, we'll use them

Margaret Thatcher and the US supported Pol Pot

Does anyone actually have links to like comprehensive studies of what really happened within Khmer Rouge?

From what I know it's incredibly dreadful and and important history lesson in many regards, but I just don't see it properly being studied in any space.

Only Stalin was a good communist.
