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

At the risk of exaggeration to the point of outright lie, there's an implication in this cable that Xi is a Buddhist wizard.

They're basically saying that while the other boys were partying, Xi was studying the blade.

I find the "born with a silver spoon in his mouth" shit to be a laugh, dude grew up living in a cave.

I mean he grew up in a traditional Shaanxi house style that's bored into a rock wall. Not opulent but also not what comes to mind when westerners say he grew up in a cave.

It's not just westerners saying "cave" it's literally CGTN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxw7FFvKMJ4

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I can kind of see where they're coming from but it's a load bearing "born", and rather generous "silver", especially seeing as he then grew up living in a cave.
