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

Aliens: We've noticed that most of your societies still don't use central economic planning, we've come with millions of years of galactic economic data that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt why you should-

That's seems to be an underexplored topic in imagining aliens in media depictions: how advanced their knowledge of political economic theories are, given the great age of their civilization. It usually just falls back on some subconscious fear white people have about becoming the colonized by new colonizers from another planet.
