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

Voting while living in third world country is literally a waste of paper.

agreed, the great satan is a third world country

Isn't the position of countries in the 3 worlds theory more about how they fit into the system of imperialism than about wellbeing of their citizens?

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

yes

but it's also funny to trans-uno the yankoids misunderstanding of the concept against them

Yeah this whole three worlds schema doesn't make much sense after the USSR collapsed

In peripheral nations outside the core is the only time where voting actually could lead to improvements, since there are segments of the national bourgeois who stand to gain from de-colonizing, so it's possible to form a short-term coalition with them. In the core nations is where voting is pointless. The only nations to ever vote in socialism via the ballot box have been "third world" countries.

Idk we managed to get a center-left third party into power, something I don’t think will ever happen in the US
