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

Perhaps I should have phrased it differently, to be fair, but I did also bring up Hampton, who was just a few years older, as an example of how someone can be a worthy leader at a very young age, but Hampton is also an anomaly among leaders and a standard that it looks like Paul K cannot aspire to meet even if he lives to be 100.

In any case, I appreciate you letting me know what his response was. As before, he just picks out one thing to harp on and it's not the most substantial part.

Edit: Are these people just pink Zizians?

Are these people just pink Zizians

Never heard of that bunch before, what a fun little rabbit hole to delve into! Also answering with a "maybe but any possible crime that would be done by the prescribed pink zizians would be that of internet forum code of conduct violations. A most serious crime!"

And to the previous paragraph I very much agree. I feel like I could lecture more about being conscious of how ageism is a two way street and how a unified chain of legacy of old comrades, middle-aged comrades, and young comrades truly helps makes a party blossom, but I gotta knock off going on pontificating rants or else I might end up converting to Multi-Level-Marketing and make a new account to tell everyone I'm the one true communist and they should follow me.
