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 !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  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 just cannot fathom how they think there are enough of us to matter, and how we have any meaningful political power at all. The enemy is both strong and weak. The enemy is laughable, yet an omnipresent threat. Obsession with a plot, often international. Like just say "Judeo-Bolsheviks" if that's what you want to say.

Is it "beyond the pale of settlement?" I'd wondered but i never looked it up.

The Pale of Settlement[a] was a western region of the Russian Empire with varying borders that existed from 1791 to 1917 (de facto until 1915) in which permanent residency by Jews was allowed and beyond which Jewish residency, permanent or temporary,[1] was mostly forbidden. Most Jews were still excluded from residency in a number of cities within the Pale as well.

Yeah it basically meant "where there might be Jews"

Edit: also note the year that it became defunct and then use that as ammunition against anyone calling the USSR antisemitic. (because after that the Soviet Union didn't have such racial caste systems)

It never works. People are just straight up "Stalin was planning to genocide all the jews!" and it's like "Where did you hear that?" and it's always some bullshit like my uncle knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who allegedly knew a guy who saw some docuemtns that disappeared and left no historical record anywhere at all.
