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

for some reason I had it in my head that Picasso was a fascist. I wonder who I'm thinking about.

Salvador Dali was a fascist who painted Lenin with one giant asscheek

I think it's magnificent in a shitpost kind of way

somehow reminds me of the guy who did the FEMA-walmart and obama-resurrecting-marx cartoons, just makes you marvel at the brainpower in play

Salvador Dali also wrote that he had sex dreams about Hitler and painted Adolf straight up jorking it.

So that's where Jorkin Depeanits comes from

He was a sex pest creep. Was in a "relationship" with a 17-year-old when he was like 54 or some shit.

That made me reread about his relationships with women, and damn, he was an even bigger piece of shit than I remembered. Pretty much just viewed women as things to be used and threw them away when he was bored with them.

I can't entirely confirm this is true.

As recently as the early 1970s, the mere mention of Picasso’s name was taboo in South Korea. He was subject to intensive surveillance by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation because of his artwork, and as a result his name was removed from a brand of oil pastels, while an image of “Massacre” was blacked out in copies of the book “Collection of World Art” imported from Japan.

This is the closest reference I've found but it's not clear if this was a ban or a company (Sennelier?) acting independently.

Obviously the chilling effect in South Korea is as good as a ban but that doesn't have quite the same punch for a meme.
