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

My rule of thumb is that if it's an organized group clearly and explicitly opposed to America then it is a force of good, stability, and peace in the world. I imagine there are exceptions but as a rule of thumb I'm likely to be right.

Do I know anything about Russia? Just that the average USSR citizen had as many calories as the US and I watched the movie about doping in the Olympics. Was I saying that I hope for a quick and lasting peace for the people of the Donbas region the nanosecond I heard they were being bullied? You bet your sweet ass I did.

Russia today doesn't strike me as... le good! and I'm open to learning more.

The only ones I can think of all trace their origins back to US intelligence anyway, ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc.
