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 think a lot of westerners don't really know that, prior to China invading, basically all of Tibet was a feudal serf state (or that the US supports the Dalai Lama's claims against China monetarily)

They just see the Dalai Lama and go 'wow wholesome chungus 10,000,000'

They see the Dalai Lama tongue kissing children and go 'wow wholesome chungus 10,000,000' too

That's because they also want to tongue kiss children

The most wholesome chungus Dalai Lama was the 6th who refused to do lama shit and spent all his time drinking and living in a tent outside the palace instead.

and which country completed its Reconstruction? it took the USA another ninety years to put a semi-end to Jim Crow and penal slavery is rampant

Also we should add to this that Lincoln didn't really do that. The slaves started liberating themselves and joining up with the Union Army, and they became such a big component of that army and such a huge disadvantage to the South that some of the Union generals just kind of rolled with it.
