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

"But at what cost" is really another thought-terminating cliche. It had a useful meaning originally, but is now just "Sure x is good, but what if you instead said it was bad?", and is not a speculation of any value.

feels like it is an appeal to the market as the final arbiter of all things. "oh you think you did something good for people? THE MARKET GOD WILL PUNISH YOU IN AS YET UNACCOUNTED FOR WAYS."
