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 maybe counts as concealed carry in America, but in the rest of the world we can tell this man is carrying a gun.

Aha, got ya! This man actually has two different AR-15s down his pants! (One chambered in .223 and one in .300 blackout, he's ready for all occasions!)

Gonna fuck up your magazines letting them hit the ground like that

I believe they're more accurately called clips.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Very true

Also call guns Gats at every opportunity, the gun nuts love it

I used to troll the “AR doesn’t stand for automatic rifle” chuds by insisting it stood for “army rifle”

It stands for Avtomat Ramboni, after its inventor Rambo.

It's really bizarre in a tragic way how passive and apathetic Americans are regarding to the degradation of their country, especially to how acute the financial distress has become in the past decade.

Lack of class consciousness coupled with a collective learned helplessness. They're just waiting for the right person to come along and fix everything for them.

also collective learned callousness, it's a nation of murderers to an extent we haven't seen since the end of Hitlerism

They're just waiting for the right person to come along and fix everything for them.

We can see it in American popular entertainment going back many decades. How many movies about collective action of ordinary people get popular, compared to superhero/supersoldier movies?

Ironic given that the US has been home to so many political movements that did change the society for the better, even if it stopped short of revolution.
