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

Fun fact, the Finnish Army still has the Jäger Battalion which was originally formed to counter the Reds in the Finnish civil war. It was trained by Imperial Germany, who elected the German emperor’s brother as King of Finland. This never materialized since the German Empire got rekt, but just goes to show how the reactionaries literally wanted to return Finland to monarchy.
