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

Yeah I'm literally in the process of trying to figure out how to stay in contact with my father but cut off all communications with my mother. She's gone off the deep end. Any conversation with her centers around her racist hatred of Mexicans. She always wants to tell me highly exaggerated and likely fabricated stories of encounters with Mexicans she's had. The woman carries a switchblade and always grasps for it in her purse if she sees someone with too dark of a complexion. I can't be in public with her because if she hears a single word of Spanish around her, her eyes get wide and she'll start muttering to herself about how "Mexicans should all go back."

We live in Texas, so often these people aren't even from Mexico. It's just Latinos, mostly people born in Texas in the first place.

She's super into Trump as well, obviously, but she's one of the odd ones who is also pro-vaccine, so at least she has that. She worships the British royal family too...and is also somehow an advocate for Irish decolonization (she claims we have Irish ancestry even though as far as I can tell our family came from Poland)

I already disowned one outright fascist parent (as in, actively and out loud wishing murder-by-police on us-foreign-policy for even existing in the same city), but while trying to maintain contact with the other, that enabling parent tricked me into meeting with the fascist parent again after years of no contact.

Oops, two disownings. edgeworth-shrug

Absolutely based but it's still sad. I wish your parents didn't suck so much that it's necessary.

yea

I never wanted that but I'm much happier with my in-laws so there's plenty of company for the holidays.

I have felt myself coming close many times. I still have normal relations with my parents but they don't know how thin the ice is.

That's so funny LMAO these people are real?? Like I know people that are casually racist or two-faced racist, but I've never met someone that goes berserk at hearing Spanish. I'd want to see her if she wouldn't stab me 😂

Yeah she's actually like this. Also she'll scream the n-word if she sees a black person on TV. She's like a cartoon character and it's only gotten worse in the last 10 years. She was more subdued and casually racist in the 90s. Now she's been driven nuts by Facebook.
