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

This doesn't have a strong real vibe and we don't really need this example to be true so idk who would try and find the original tweet with success after some already failed

There are so many articles and tweets out there with false accusations that have been debunked, this can be taken as an example meme to easily illustrate the issue with propaganda we encounter in our lives.

Sometimes it is that blatant, like "tank man" being cited as having been run over by tanks going to Tiananmen Square, even though it is easily checkable that the tanks were going OUT of the square in the morning after the riots, and videos of this man exist from the same view point, showing him walking on the tank and talking with the soldiers for some time before going off
