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 /c/slop

  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

"I bet Marx couldn't have foreseen..." Then they list some new thing. Sometimes if you're really lucky they just talk about consumer products.

Actually nothing about airplanes, TV, the internet, smart phones, or the Hot Pocket patented microwaveable crisping sleeve have invalidated his summary of capitalism.

"Marx could not explain why kids love ["breakfast cereal" that is literally just cookies, you're feeding them literal fucking cookies for a meal]!"

Hot Pocket patented microwaveable crisping sleeve

Did you know they stopped including that? Probably allowed them to shave a couple pennies off their costs. They tell you to microwave it if you don't care that it'll be squishy or air fry it if you want it crispy. There's probably a critique of capital rolled in there.
