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

Aku is putting up subliminal messages against capitalism?

I'm afraid it's true, The Left Can't Meme. powercry-2

the Earth of Samurai Jack is terrible in the future because of Aku, his inclusion in the cola ad is a direct reference to capitalist culture being evil

so it's more that Jack in this meme is the stand in for the viewer of the show, putting on the glasses and seeing the underlying message being presented

through the magic of crossover memes the ideology glasses have become media literacy glasses shrug-outta-hecks

Wait, Samurai Jack was just cyberpunk?
