Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
Weβre here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light β argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, donβt ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Taxes bootstrap the value of the currency, and are a crucial inflation control mechanism.
The accounting connection between tax revenue and funding provided by a national government is entirely specious and imaginary.
OK, so every person should just stop paying them right now. What are they gonna do if we all do it ?
I wish.
As with any complex concept, incomplete information tends toward imprecise interpretation, and as such I encourage further exploration.
Probably send the IRS after the biggest offenders, paid for with money they printed.
I don't necessarily disagree with your point. Organizing the working class in well-lubricated organizations with the common goals of improving the material conditions in which we live is something I applaud. However, I wouldn't start tackling taxes first of all. Income taxes maybe, at most, account for 50% of your income. However, surplus value stolen from workers by companies is closer to stealing 80% of your income (depending on a lot of factors). Companies earn a lot more money from our labor than they pay us back, and I would argue for the abolition of this private employer - employee relation altogether. What do you think?
Also, cool username
Totally agree ,
Thanks!
