Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

But... my shrieking rage that all who came before me were literally Hitler! What will I do without it? Screaming at people online that they're stupid and wrong and also literally Hitler if they don't agree with my Righteous Rightness is all I have. :/
I mean, I think the world needs more people who are trying to be Righteously Right about things than ones who dgaf and just take what they want, even if the righteousness can be a bit exhausting sometimes
You think you are being wise and nuanced but you are excusing genocide.
Be better.
How the hell is this not sarcasm
