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

In the U.S., there is a large amount of boomers that dangle a promise of inheritance over their children, often to be able to continue to abuse them well through adulthood (just in different ways).

Our government is the boomer parent that is now realizing that other countries are like the children who have become educated, and done the work to heal from their traumas. Who then realize they are OK on their own without their parent’s safety net/support. In fact, they are better off without them altogether. Their parents were the only ones ever benefiting from the relationship. Yet, the parents are always confused when their attempts at financial manipulation fail.

Europe is also stabbing itself though lol. Germany basically committed suicide over Ukraine/Russia

It's still not on the level of destroying a global superpower by kicking the chair under you

Europe will probably hurt more from losing the US soft power
