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

I AM A RED-BLOODED AMERICAN PATRIOT! I LET MY GOVERNMENT STEAL MY INFORMATION, I LET MY BOSS STEAL MY LABOR, I LET MY FISTS BEAT MY WIFE AND I LET MY MOUTH DRINK MY BEER!

Is this copypasta? If not, it should be.

It is just me channeling the ghosts of the four chuds who died during the 2021 Capitol Riot

Tagline potential? Reads like one of those weird t-shirts.

The fact the law doesn't change anything about how the app (or any other app) operates it just forces them to sell it to an American company so we can benefit instead of China should be enough to invalidate the bill.

Instead it's got wide support because China bad.

I'm old enough to remember when libs thought that the orange cheeto was sooooo silly for being obsessed with China.

Remember when your parents told you not to use your real name on the net? Now you have to upload pics of your ID.

This line from the Verge https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/13/24097125/house-bill-vote-tiktok-ban-china-bytedance-divestment

“The House vote revives some US policymakers’ hopes for a forced divestment of TikTok, due to fears that Chinese law could compel its parent company to hand over information on US users, presenting a national security risk”

Perhaps the issue is the very fact these companies can collect the information.
