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

Well when you’ve spent your whole life hating any form of community or reciprocal social obligation to your fellow man, it’s hard not to find other people scary as you’ve never built any trust in a stranger or had positive interactions with people since high school. The whole American way of life is avoidance of close social interaction, you get up in your low density suburban house, get into your personal bubble of a car, drive isolated and hating all your fellow drivers to work, then work, drive back to an impersonal strip mall to do your grocery shopping, then drive back to your island of solitude home, where you stay watching tv, alone. Of course these people are scared of other humans.
