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

"The Finns who volunteered to join the SS weren't really nazis, they just wanted to protect their country. There's no evidence that they committed war crimes, which makes OK that they joined the nazi army."

That kind of shit is why I stopped listening to Sabaton. I like their music, and they have multiple songs from a pro-Soviet perspective, but they have just as many (if not more) that glorify nazis. Including that one Finnish guy who fought in the Finnish army, joined the Waffen-SS to fight the USSR, and then joined the US army and fought in Vietnam

At least the Viet Cong got another massive W by killing him.

That was the kind of thing that kept me from ever listening to Sabaton, plus I just don’t like power metal in general.
