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

"Neurodiverse = wrong/broken/evil" is a brainworm that I wish would die. Sucks that it probably never will.

The worlds most evil people are able and "normal" for lack of a better word anyway.

No, I used to say I thought the problem with reactionaries was a lack of empathy, but then the tankiest most based and sweetest comrade I knew told me that I'm just wrong. He said doesn't have empathy either, but he doesn't need empathy to know that everyone deserves to be taken care of and to have strong Communist ideals. I apologized for being wrong, and learned an interesting lesson.

It got me thinking, and I realized that accusing fascists of lacking empathy is barking up the wrong tree anyway. "Oh, they don't care about the victims of their wars because they lack empathy" well then why do they feel sad when they see a stray dog? They're just racists who consider brown people to be beneath animals. That's not a lack of empathy, that's racism.
