Welcome to the dank left
Basic rules: *No reposting. Just don't do it.
*Be respectful. Remember the human.
*Don't post content glorifying the right This should be pretty obvious.
*Keep it dank This includes, keeping the content humorous and fresh in multiple, bizarrerie ways Only post content that is humorous and fresh.
*The notion of Leftist unity is not enforced or encouraged. It always ends with one group siliencing others.

Thanks. While I think I agree with the overall sentiment expressed in the meme, stating it this way just plays into the conservative paranoia that crime is way up and violence is increasing. The only major category of crime that's up is vehicle theft.

If we want to effectively combat all the misinformation and right-wing fear rhetoric we have to be consistent, and on the same page with putting truthful information in our own rhetoric.
