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

San Francisco, the city where they want to sport hunt the homeless, is definitely the center of communism on earth; not any actual nations espousing communism or socialism as their national ethos, just the techbro city in 'Commiefornia'.

Beyond the abject stupidity, it's such an anglocentric thing to think lmao

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

Especially during the 80's. By that time any hippie sentiment had been beaten out of the city and people.

Any story about this pic? Interesting time to be visiting sf specifically.

[–] john_browns_beard@hexbear.net 35 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I was curious and checked Wikipedia, this is going to sound like a joke but he was on assignment studying corn in Iowa in 1985. I'm assuming he just visited SF on the way there or back.

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No yeah he famously has a host family in Iowa he loosely stays in contact with

it'd be pretty funny if the PRC opened a consulate in Muscatine

Khrushchev never died, he just became Chinese

[–] TrustedFeline@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

No, that makes perfect sense! 1980s china is a booming population just a few decades from the great leap forward.

I was thinking maybe he was in SF for the booming high tech economy. But apparently he was in the us to study a more important part of the economy!

Points at the most capitalist state in the most capitalist country to ever exist

This is communism, actually

Dialectical materialism

[–] RedSturgeon@hexbear.net 53 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, you would hope seeing homeless camps, in the supposedly most wealthy nation on earth, would make you consider that maybe the Political system there is not that good...

I will never spend a summer with Xi in San Francisco. sadness

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not sure you missed out on much, even his wife thinks he's a pretty boring guy lol

The heart wants what it wants

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

This is true

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 42 points 3 weeks ago

Experiencing San Francisco might have set his life goal of destroying California

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

Xi is a Manchurian candidate

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

Rupert Murdock did a stone cold stunner to the American intellect, these are just aftershocks

[–] TrustedFeline@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago

We're gonna see this pic a lot once libs start doing the homophobic thing towards Xi

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago
