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

In colonial Australia, the state artificially inflated land prices (which were extremely low because they'd killed all the natives) to put them beyond the reach of new colonizers, forcing those colonizers to work in factories and fields owned by an entrenched capitalist class.

Libertarians love price controls when they work in their favor.
