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

That's kinda disgusting, what the fuck?

Nuclear war is fucking terrifying, the USSR was right to fear it.

"important to history" is a derranged standard for evaluating the worth of people.

This reads to me as being a joke coming from him. The issue of nuclear politics produced a lot of sardonic humor.

Wow Sardinians are so mean

I remember seeing that exact same argument used to justify vaccine apartheid. Definitely a part of Mao's 30%.

I do not think he was serious. I think it is fair to say we shouldn't joke about such things but unfortunately that's how I cope

Part of the sino-soviet split stuff was that Mao was not particularly reluctant about nuclear war as he thought it would hurt capitalist nations more.
