Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’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 FormatsNot 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

Let's not pretend it is in any way the same thing it was a few hundred years ago.

Royals used to be the ruling class, the top dogs, the owners. this is obviously not the case any more.

If you look at how much property the british crown still owns: they're still part of the owner class.

Now they are just harmless parasites. But if the opportunity came to take back power they would seize it, so we better get rid of monarcs

Harmless? Tell that to the millions in abject poverty because these fucks leech everything that can.

If your country has any "royals" at all and even a single person among you is struggling to get enough to eat, earn enough money to survive, or even keep a home... those royals are only harmless to you and even then only in your head. 🤢

I tried to be consensual but we killed all of them in my country and we are better off this way

Imprecise, logically fallacious, and irrelevant at best. No.

A masterfully compelling argument. 😙
