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

What’s worse, total extinction or Stalin being a big spooned meanie? Checkmate atheists.

Those bad bad Russian authoritarians told kulaks what to do! Why couldn't they have been more like the wholesome GERMAN authoritarians who just told people westerners dislike what to do?

That's it! I'm burning my grain! Stalin can't tell me what to do!

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Damn. Extinction or socialism. You put it quite succinctly!

Okay so does the "gorillion" thing come from somewhere other than /pol/? First place I saw it was /pol/ holocaust denial.

Not that I'm aware of. IMO, it's not our best appropriation of fash memes when it comes to o p t i c s

I'm not a huge fan of it either yeah :/ take antisemitic holocaust denial meme -> use it for the very legitimate purpose of pointing out black book of communism lies?? Not very cash money...

It's future fodder for libs to claim tankies are proud genocide deniers who use genocidal language in the same manner as Nazis.

I think it's a lot more sus than "glowie" or "spook", which have uses much more clearly divorced from their racist origins, but a lot of us have given those up regardless. (I don't really care about using these either way, but I am not marginalized, so I avoid them. Not my call)

Wait, glowing (and its variants) have racist origins? I suppose I'm not surprised given 4chan, but I didn't know that. Could you explain?

[–] HauntedBySpectacle@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Glowing was coined by Terry Davis, the same guy who made TempleOS. He used it in the sense of "CIA n***** glow in the dark"

Spook is way older as an antiblack slur, but that's never been the primary meaning.

I don't think it actually comes from there, but I could be wrong...

That's like all the people, man
