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'm sure there's a bunch of cool quakers even if John Brown technically wasn't one. Quakers were IIRC religiously opposed to slavery and that's a fairly cool legacy. But the only quakers I know of the top of my head are James Dean, Lyndon Larouche and Richard Nixon

Edit: WAIT, the public universal friend was a quaker.

Yeah they are a mixed bag for sure. Lots of patriarchal bullshit. One of the only ones I regularly interacted with was a lady that shopped at the store I used to work at who had like 6 kids all barely a year apart in age. Or she may have been pentecostal. So many weird offshoots of christianity and all of them suck by and large even if some of their adherents are cool.
