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

Calling it now, they will frame mass surveillance as “based and redpilled” and we’ll have a whole generation of ‘rebels’ who will unironically tell you “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”

I mean, they've already been doing this

PATRIOT Act really set the tone for the last 20-odd years

It’s already happening in the comments. Granted those are usually ratio’d to hell, but unfortunately it won’t be hard to pump up the likes with some bot farms.

Manufactured consent is just changing forms :/
