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 could see both being true, as the past decade has seen a LOT of scams/fraud/embezzlement in China via real estate development for ghost cities. It would not be a stretch for the pandas to go from a PR grift of one sort to a funnel for a second grift.

No capitalist system could survive a true audit without exposing money going into the wrong hands. There's always going to be people getting too much and people falling through the cracks.

The effects of China's planning is that stuff that helps the working class happens more often. And that's pretty neat when compared to state investment going into stock buybacks under finance capitalism.
