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

What is he babbling about? Capitalism isn’t meritocratic at all!

Like how many times have the porks gave up the ghost that they care more about your pedigree?

porky-scared-flipped: “It’s who you know, not what you know!”

Hell, the civil rights movement has only been in effect for a fraction of capitalism’s history. What the hell is he talking about?

Akchewally sweaty networking is a skill. U gotta network with thw angels to get born in a capitalists family to win its just how the world always has and awlays will work...

/s, but i have had several teachers give a "networking is a skill" spiel so its distressingly a common view

And I know damn well it’s just a new euphemism for discrimination.

“Sorry kiddo. You’re just out-of-network! You see, I only hire my best buds! You gotta be buddy-buddy with rich people to get the job these days! Why are my friends all wealthy white men? Well, must be a coincidence.”
