Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — 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, don’t 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 are not a "scam" in as much as they serve the purposes I outlined above. However, knowing that it's definitely not taxes funding things like healthcare or education, it's good to examine all taxes with a critical lens:
Should we tax the poorest of workers at all? If one of the main goals of taxation is decreasing inequality, why do we charge income taxes at all to workers earning below the average for example? You could argue that we need to remove money from the economy for macroeconomic purposes such as inflation, but then let's do it from the richest and not the poorest?
Fun fact: you can tell your libertarian friend that the DPRK (aka North Korea) abolished income taxes in 1974. If they hate taxes so much, they're free to move there!
