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 mean I wouldn't really call Assad elected. I mean he technically was but he was the only candidate.

Is that functionally different from the way the elections work in the US though?

Syria doesn’t have the extravagance of a two party system

Heeeey, "The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them" (Julius Nyerere) reference in the wild!

That's one of the pinned quotes on Lemmygrad :) Or at least that's how I think I get them. They appear at the top on my client (Jerboa) and change/roll when I scroll back and forth

once they solve the problem of the US and UK fucking their shit up constantly maybe they'll go for it

Ukraine hasn't had elections in a long while now, hasn't it, that's awkward
