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 !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  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

This is how they do it.

Step 1: Dislike those that identify as right wingers for the most petty reasons (such as @Civility@hexbear.net ) instead of politically significant differences. ![the-republican](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/5d4755c1-0a9a-47d4-a06d-afc9da67de89.png "emoji the-republican")

Step 2: Appropriate an identity that is ostensibly opposed to right wingers. ![liberalism](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/301c12fe-4eda-4a2b-ac71-c39c57d39c2d.png "emoji liberalism")

Step 3: Shit on actual left wingers constantly to try to shove them out of their own identity, which also protects the status quo. ![the-democrat](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/37845a57-1fd1-470c-b8fb-253b3ba8aa8c.png "emoji the-democrat")

social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
