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

As a black communist, the amount of Candace Owens types complaining about how white liberals have shown their racism really prompted me to make this meme.

All reactionaries operate from the same playbook: accurately identify the problems of liberal capitalism, then blame those problems on minorities. Even the most politically unengaged, ignorant person knows when they are in pain, but liberal capitalism either tells them that their pain isn't real ("look at this chart, the economy's actually doing great") or that they deserve it ("should've studied STEM if you wanted to be able to afford food"). Neither of these answers is satisfying, so that opens the door for fascists and reactionaries to swoop in and say "your pain is real and I have the cure." It's just like how quack doctors and homeopaths prey on people who can't afford legitimate medical treatments.

They also blame those problems on the secret communists who are in control of all of society, actually.

Don't you know? Communists control every branch of government, Instagram, and every school in our country. The weak capitalists are barely holding on.

The other path is Elijah Muhammad/Louis Farrakhan lol.
