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

You cannot kill the Metal
The Metal will live on
Ouédraogo tried to kill the Metal
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
Traoré tried to kill the Metal
But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground
Compaoré tried to kill the Metal
Ha-ha-ha-ha
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground!

I like to imagine that Sankara went straight into a perfect rendition of Eruption straight after this photo

kids these days have no respect for the greats of the genre sankara-shining

just kidding I'm not gonna gatekeep Sankara lmao, he's an African revolutionary from Burkina Faso who did phenomenal things for his country, was universally loved by the people, and then got assassinated by a counterrevolutionary coup orchestrated by the French. Here's one of my favorite speeches of his on women's liberation and here's (YouTube) a good short documentary about him.
