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

Austria were active participants in the Spanish colonial empire (Like how many people named Habsburg were involved in the running of the Spanish colonial empire do you think?). Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech republic fall under that umbrella.

Malta's economy was literally piracy of North African shipping lanes for 400 years what are you doing.

a lot of these were actually on the other side of the fence quite often

I would like you to tell me exactly when Austria was ruled and exploited as a colony.

I would bet you money that they buy Austria's "the first victim of the Nazis" line.
