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

I like that you compare these two in a way that suggests you think they are the same, and that it is ridiculous for people to have different opinions of them despite them taking the same actions.

It works really well as a humorous comparison, because as we all know, the Chinese communist party lost power, the socialist project was utterly dismantled, and the country was broken apart and ravaged by the West resulting in a massive drop in life expectancy, education, and housing, and a massive increase in poverty, unemployment, and alcoholism, just like what happened in the USSR. These are nearly identical situations.

OP has done pretty much nothing but attempt to start struggle sessions since making his account a few days ago, so it's unsurprising.

Oh for sure, this is almost certainly Wisconcom, who has been making weird anti-revisionist screeds on lemmygrad across many accounts for literally years. He loves Hoxha and hates Deng, and if you get him upset he will "go thermonuclear" on us all.

Oh for sure, I saw Crit's comments in the other thread (really sad I missed it, lol). This is just wrecker behavior at this point.

I am here to generate productive discussion around hot-button issues which surround the left. I have no intent on starting undue drama or struggle sessions.

What gave you the impression that these were "hot button issues" worthy of bringing up in discussion, and the way you have been? Productive discussion is handled from a focus on unity, not splitting and divisiveness. I understand that Hexbear is a shitposting site and not a communist party, but that makes it even more counterproductive to try to spark a struggle sesh on purpose.

Then you wouldn't just passive-aggressively post memes and cherrypick sentences within the responses you reply to to acknowledge, usually in the direction of interpersonal dramatics while ignoring substantive claims.
