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

Regarding your first point, classified CIA documents don't usually get released to the public until decades after they were made. After all, the Soviet Union also didn't exist in 2007 and the quote is using the present tense.

To your second point, that's a can of worms I'm too tired to go into, but someone else here might take you up on that.
