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

Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

Just because America does bad things/is bad doesn't give other nations a pass to do bad things/be bad. Often people use whataboutism to justify or excuse Russia's aggression or China's genocide. All of these things can be bad and worthy of reproach.

Alright then, start by accepting and loudly saying 'America Bad'. Then we can move on to other bad things as well. Crying Whataboutism doesn't let you ignore the atrocity in the first place.

Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
