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

The Internet is so far away from what it could be under communism.

[–] SeizeTheBeans@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It honestly makes me sad to think of the kind of grand achievement of human ingenuity the internet could have been... instead of the writhing, cancerous mass of ads and slop and scams, pure manipulation and greed, all the pathologies of capitalism amplified and beamed into our brains that it is. Like, it really could have been a tool for human flourishing, but instead it's just another tool for extraction and oppression of most of humanity.

Yeah, I feel like we can't even imagine how great it could still become in a future global communist society. We might not live to see it, but hopefully a future generation.
