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

I found it was easy and natural to be a libertarian when I was a sheltered college kid who had a comfortable middle class upbringing and never worked except for some small summer jobs at the mall.

It was having an actual job and being responsible for rent, groceries, etc (and see the real world struggles others had, plus some other stuff) that radicalized me.
