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

Normies can be reached and memes help. I've already gotten some "maybe we were too auick to judge China" reactions when I point out they execute child molesters.

Incredibly well said, and nice to see you have a decent amount of upvotes. It’s been great to see Hexbear’s position on China develop over the last few years into a more rigorous socialist one that is more open to criticism of the PRC. I remember a time when even the most mild criticism was an absolute non-starter on here.

Hexbear probably won't be able to create enough of a superstructure to change the material conditions we live in, so as much as we can clap ourselves it is important to remember that we're all influenced by our surrounding conditions, there are a lot of things I simply don't say because it's not the time and place. Lying isn't a bad thing, it's about how you use it.

It's easy to start taking victories for granted and eventually fall into dogmatism, once you stop questioning why things changed.

From what I understand, basically the entire userbase got purged and banned so now there are new people.

Does still having a day one account make me the hexbear equivalent of Molotov living into the 80s?
