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

Not that I have heard of, maybe I missed that.

Here is an unredacted file from the JFK files release last year that shows them admitting that the "Hungarian Freedom Fighters were Agency [CIA] sponsored"

Is that the same as admitting to orchestrating a coup? They were certainly funding groups who did orchestrate the coup. And General Kiraly, who organized armed uprisings, was a former Nazi that in the 60s was being recommended as a prime contact for anti-Cuban assets to meet with.

Anyway, there is also this article: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/mi6-trained-rebels-to-fight-soviets-in-hungarian-revolt-1359599.html about how MI6 was training Hungarians to do a coup.
