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

they will inevitably decide that they are more "equal" than the rest

Wow, this reminds me a lot of a quote from this great book we read in school called "Animal Farm." One of the pigs in the story basically said the exact same thing! The only thing is that, in the book, it was the animals acting like some people (or animals) were more equal than others, and not the humans. And the animals acting that way was the pigs, but I think the pigs were meant to be humans? Idk, but it was a really deep story that made me think a lot of things.

British colonial cop and police snitch being the main source of philosophy and social sciences for westerners is really on the nose.
