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

Would it help to send her 'bridging' content? To slowly shift the overton window to the left?

I really like that idea. I was planning to respond with all the problems her latest vid has in the first 5 minutes, but if I could share a vid or something as well it might help. I've sent her a lot of climate change stuff because, while she used to deny it, she's come around to acknowledging it's real and "probably" caused by humans. Just wish I could further the push to it's caused by capitalism.

Got any recommendations? I have climatetown and skip intro in mind as some transitionary YouTube channels but I don't feel like they are ostensibly political outside their specific topics. I'd like some more general content that covers everything and is maybe hosted by a boomer.

I don't have high expectations but I'd like to try.

Thanks this guy is great for explaining the basics

He's great. If you're into podcasts, he does one with a couple of other leftist YouTubers (Hakim and Yugopnik) that's much more mask off called The Deprogram.

What about The Majority Report? I don't watch too much of it but it's popular among my leftie-but-not-communist friends.
