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

It being in line with Chinese foreign policy goals doesn't change the fact that the government they're selling arms to is committing genocide. And irrespective of the moral issue, if we're listing arming Israel and Ukraine as a war for this list we should be including arming Myanmar as one too

Then we should also note that previous to 2022 it was Israel selling Myanmar small arms. Their standard issue rifle is a licensed Galil.

Sure? But Israel isn't in this comparison

If you are talking about the countries supplying Myanmar then Israel is absolutely part of that discussion.
