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 [email protected], it's a great comm.

  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

Socialism was developed as an intellectual tradition in opposition to liberalism. I didn't define it

The people who invented liberalism defined it. Take that up with Rousseau and Locke, et al.

But definitions change over time as people use the words differently. Except French where the government gets to decide what words mean.

Words have meaning. Your political illiteracy is not my fault

Words meaning is what we all decide they are. Not always the original.

Just because you're illiterate doesn't mean the squiggles I'm making don't have meaning

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But if enough people agree on what the squiggles mean, now they have meaning.

People already agree on what the squiggles mean. They aren't squiggles to us because we can read - you are saying that they mean something different because you're illerate. Your opinion means nothing because you don't know what you're talking about
