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

I think the legacy of neoliberalism will be a major problem for leftists going forward. We know the West is going to crash hard, certainly outside the US and probably within the US as well. At least half the population think that left-wing politics = neoliberal politics. They have fucked us on immigration in particular. So much of the working class opposes immigration because it has been used by neoliberals specifically to undercut wages. You can tell people it’s the economic system but the idea that everything bad is because of immigration is becoming really ingrained. If the US or any Western country were to collapse it would be fascism that is primed to exploit that, not Marxism or any other left politics.
