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

I remember as a teen going to the states after 9/11 and tons of Americans after finding out I was from Canada grilling me on whether we were going to join them in the war or not. I wasn’t even old enough to vote. They were very aggressive about it sometimes, and at least passive aggressive at best. It was real culture shock for me.

Also what is with Americans and loving show tunes? Like I get they’re tourist areas but the show tunes thing is so fucking weird in the south.

the white south is culturally behind by 100+ years so they're still impressed by gilbert and sullivan.

that seems reasonable. just a few minutes ago i was yelling at this antisemitic baby in the grocery store. i don't know if he was palestinian but he could have been. lots of them are babies. i figure might as well play it safe.
