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

If some unknown CEO getting shot brings this much cheering, what do you think would happen if Musk got shot dead? I think I'd throw a party. maybe a parade.

Tbh I don’t think Musk impacted the personal lives of as many people as the horrific US healthcare system has. Working class rightwingers celebrate Thompson’s death and I don’t think they’d celebrate Musk’s death the same way. Still, there would be more happy than sad people if Musk is killed.

That's probably true. His impacts are more indirect. Making twitter a right wing cess pool definitely has a lot of negative consequences, but it's not the same as denying a health treatment.
