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

When the Constitution was written if you had land you could vote, it did not matter if it was a million Acres or a half an acre. You each got one vote. Also there really were very few manufacturing workers, like 90% was in agriculture.

That was my point.

Now if you think Western governments are worse towards their citizens than Eastern ones I would straight up disagree.

Ah yes, fuck my anecdote and the epidemic of failed urban housing in ghettoes around America. "Fucking stupid liberal commie. You totally are lying about how poor you were." Everyone in America is rich, right?

I thought you guys were particularly aggressive politically correct libs in the us here when arguing until someone enlightened me.

Yes america is fucked and has been. Npt ever.perfect but was better for a few decades from post war years to the 70s, when the business round table made a long game to cooperatively take away all of the gains of the new deal and labor movement.

Because of social concessions made to the proletariat in the imperialistic West due to encroaching global revolution. History played out differently.
