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 !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  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

Don't speak for all of us. I'm the first to admit it was a tragic accident and I hate when people turn it into a Scooby Doo mystery or make it seem purely political. Anything to protect Boeing I guess.

Can you explain a bit more? I understand not wanting it to turn into a Scooby Doo mystery, but the political and Boeing aspect I’m not really following.

Planes crash all the time. People are hardwired to look for patterns in things and sometimes we see noise that we mistake for signal. On 9/11 people saw four coincidental accidents- Boeing planes- and assumed it must be part of some bigger plot. Either it's a conspiracy we can all have fun uncovering or it's Foucault's boomerang. Neither group bothers to ask if those plane crashes are like so many others they don't do this with. The only dialectical materialism to apply is between the shitty Boeing mechanic and the plane missing components. The only conspiracy is the one you're seeing unfolding now- corporate negligence resulting in four separate tragic accidents.

Bro it’s too early for this bit.
