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

Of course what Americans mean by "socialism" is just basic societal necessities and a modicum of dignity for workers.

You're not making a bad point in any normal place, but we do have fire departments in the United States that you pay directly and if you don't pay, but your neighbor does, they will come make sure that your house doesn't catch your neighbors on fire as it goes.

So.... Some people in this country live somewhere that has (even if it's not actually for-profit) fire departments that discriminate based on payment status.
