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

Good post but Lincoln doesn’t quite belong in that list. Any progressive things he did were essentially concessions he had to make to preserve the Union, which he wanted to do for non progressive ends.

Lincoln didn’t free the slaves. They freed themselves and in 1860 were the most revolutionary class in America.
