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

What the fuck is going on in Nepal?

Four at least three of those (and one that isn't listed), what happened was the two largest parties won a landslide together in the 2017 elections and decided to merge, but the Supreme Court ended up declaring it invalid because the name they chose was taken and then because of infighting it didn't just split back into two but into four pieces

Why didn't they just pick a different name after the ruling?

Idk, but given the original unification was just after taking power, it's possible certain conflicts had already started to emerge and this gave them an opportunity to rise to the surface
