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

Fair assessment. I literally haven't heard anyone cite fucking Tocqueville since my days in my paleocon u.s poli-sci brainwashing classes in uni.

Like the only thing I particularly remember from that book was Tocqueville more or less calling American citizens homogeneously fucking mid no matter where he ventured to.

That was Tocqueville? For some reason I had that (accurate) assessment of Americans filed under Mark Twain, tho I'm not surprised a vulgar Marxist like Tocquieville came up with it

To be fair it's been years since I read it
