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

Tankies are people who support the Soviet intervention in Hungary in 1956

I have no opinion at all on that coz I know nothing about it.

For all the revisionism of de-stalinization, most of that was propaganda. The economic and international policy of the USSR barely changed as a result of Khruschchyov. Cool analysis of this in "Is the red flag flying", by Albert Szymanski, looking at several economic and social indicators and arguing this as a conclusion.
