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

The USSR also used Nazi scientists. It would be a waste to get rid of them without siphoning their knowledge first. The difference is that the Soviets didn’t create a legacy for those scientists. They were forced to contribute to rocketry and either shot or told to fuck off back to Germany and live in obscurity forever. Russian students didn’t open up their textbooks and see Dr. Otto von Duffenmurdër-Hirohito being praised as a master of propulsion.
