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

I should share that one Khomeini video where he says that you shouldn't ceasefire with this people, because you're just letting them off without the consequences of their actions - which will lead them to attacking you again when it becomes convenient.

If the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Iran become instrumental in a chain event that finally dismantles western imperialism then I will have no choice but to become Shia

Genuinely considering learning farsi or arabic (mostly for the poetry and historical writings though if I'm entirely honest)

[–] QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 14 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

For you or anyone serious about learning Arabic, we have a comrade here who generously offers 1-on-1 MSA lessons from a syllabus they developed. As I'm sure you know, Farsi is what is primarily spoken in Iran, but it uses the same script/lettering system as Arabic. Also MSA, the formal standard Arabic is used all across the Arabic-speaking world even where local dialects diverge drastically, making it the best choice if you want to talk people of different Arab cultures and nationalities.

@CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net I think the main reason the comrade I mentioned above doesn't do a whole class is only because not enough people have been interested in it yet. But I don't know, that may be a possibility if more people requested it. Whether it's in a class or 1-on-1, having a teacher who you are obligated to demonstrate your progress to goes a very long way in maintaining motivation and preventing procrastination excuses, at least in my experience. Regardless, if you didn't know already, we do have a language-learning comm.

Farsi's grammar system is identical to European languages - minus gender (only gender neutral pronouns).

Arabic will give you half the vocabulary.

English and other languages will give you even more vocabulary and all of the structure you need.

I have a syrian friend who has been teaching me a bit but this is cool af. Might contact them when I sober up. Hexbear is such a cool community, I'm glad I found y'all

Me too actually wouldn't it be fun if we could make a languages learning club haha (I keep being so busy but I need to just cephalopod-up and make the time for it)

Even if I never learn farsi I will thoroughly enjoy this video. Thank you ❤️

If you are interested in languages as a concept you should check out NativLang on youtube!
