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

That’s not true, there’s still the final bits of manufacturing related to weapons and military infrastructure that can’t be outsourced because if you get that new secret bombs injection molds machined overseas the design might be leaked. That’s one of the reasons why perpetual war is necessary, it’s the only way to keep exporting the one thing America still actually makes and is why America spends more than the gdp of like 85% of countries on so tax money can be funneled to sociopathic oligarchs in the name of “defense”

Now if you’ll excuse me I have to hit up poly market to use insider information on global conflicts to make tens of millions of dollars
