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

it probably depends on the dialect but oprimir is mostly used for opress in latin america. i have seen the press meaning only on spainard dialect, not sure if there are more

Depends in the context, but opress is the most direct translation of oprimir

Press is presionar

In Spain it also litery means "to oppress". I would say it is common in most Spanish dialects if not all, not 100% sure tho.
