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

Lol history doesn't advance because of 1 simple trick. Violent civil unrest, peaceful protests, electorialism, revolutionary action... They've all played their part and claiming that one is solely responsible inspires infighting amongst a crowd that should be united under a common cause.

You're 100% right and anyone that tries to dunk on you needs to read history

Internet leftists spend too much time with in-group/out-group dynamics and learning from memes. The real world is complex, what constitutes a good or bad strategy is wholely contextual.

And broadly speaking, violence outside of organized strategy or a party is usually adventurism and counterproductive.
