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

You didn’t see the obvious Lugansk People’s Republic outline on the CNN coffee cup?

Tbh LPR was way cooler before the government got soft couped by Russia

Russia wanted to give Donbass back to Ukraine via Minsk. Putin clearly didn’t want to deal with this Donbass shit, wanted to have good relations with the EU and ended up lashing out at Lenin for making his life so difficult.

The communists were completely opposed to this plan. If anything, the communists are even more nationalist than Putin’s neoliberal government in this case.

It was only after 8 years of having the illusions repeatedly shattered that Putin decided enough is enough.

Eh I just know a number of young communists in luhansk that are very salty about it. Mainly the ones that actually fought in the war, not the old politicians. They're also super nice and trans positive

My biggest hope was actually that the communists kept their shit together and all the Russian areas of Ukraine made their own little commie thing that is aligned with the economic area of Russia, and I feel like that sentiment is common among younger commies in the area. But obviously it's just all united russia people now in government

As I said, in another universe the Donbass would have been sold out by Putin and Russia joining the fascist club of the EU.

It only didn’t happen because Russia wasn’t allowed entry to the fascist club. This kicks off their cooperation with China and pivoting away from the Western imperial core.

LPR is part of Russia

This is like saying "New York was really cool before it got soft couped by the USA"

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

if New York had been nominally independent for several years before joinging the USA?

CNN is compromised! Someone call the FBI!

Anarcho-putinist indeed.
