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

Fair, I've just recently started saying West Asia instead of the Middle East (as it's a British colonial thing). I should have said West and Central Asia. I wanted to basically include Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza etc. But then I guess I've also got to say North Africa for Libya.

Yeah, it's surprisingly hard to describe the region in a concise way. West and Central Asia and North Africa doesn't exactly roll off the tongue lol.

just say "the caliphate" /s
