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

Now we’re back in the shit of slow imperial decline when it could have been ripped off in one swoop.

Even if the global south launched then won WW3 with an overwhelming victory, it would not eliminate imperialism, since that is the necessary result of monopoly capitalism and uneven development in the world. The "slow" method is the only way to eliminate the material basis of imperialism.

Now we won’t get that because all of our allies sat on their hands

This is quite an odd way of thinking about things, since there is a lot more to geopolitics than enthusiastically triggering WW3 at the first opportunity.
