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

He is also quoted as saying

Death solves all problems. No man, no problem.

True, Stalin was a more nuanced character that he is usually given credit for but he was still a paranoid and brutal man who was responsible for the deaths of a lot of innocent people.

Let's not fall into the trap of either lionizing or demonizing historical figures.

Hitler also had some great ideas and quotes. But he's still Hitler.

As far as I know that is the truth, but portraying him as devil himself while not doing the same with who ever did the same to Ireland does not seam consistent.
