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

There's also another trend I see yanks do where they go so all-in on "teehee white people no seasoning" they run away from anything they deem to be "white" - hence the dunking on salt that was a trend a year or so ago. Some sort of weird reverse white saviour I see people do, like they try to say "i'm one of the good ones or something". I think it's a mix of all three: Racism, colonialism and I don't know what to call the last thing... Neoliberalism? Tokenism?

I think it's lazy. It's a way to signal anti-whiteness without actually doing anything. Being in community is hard, organizing is hard, reading books is hard, working through theory is hard, but making fun of white culture is really easy.

You know what's easy AND helps build community? Making big bowl of porridge for all to enjoy
