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

Yeah, it's pretty funny.

That said, the kids are not alright, because often those that are making those memes are also listening to Nick Fuentes because he is fed to them in their algorithms and is willing to performatively criticize other rightwing creators because it is hilariously easy, while still slipping in his ethnonationalist horseshit. I mean these are usually the same people that grew up thinking Andrew Tate and PewDiePie are 'not political'.

They often mistake me for one of them because I have a tendency to be very vague about my politics among strangers, especially teenagers, but when they say something that is funny, I can't help but laugh, then they keep going and eventually I'm not laughing anymore lol.
