Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is "meme enough" to count, and of feeling like I'm spamming other spaces, so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace.

❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗

Now that we got that out of the way, expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I've collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up!

I'm here to share funnies and point out sometimes uncomfortable realities to validate and radicalise already left leaning people, NOT to debate bigots and trolls.

Racist, sexist, transphobic and otherwise queerphobic, ableist, and any other bigoted language and behaviour will not be tolerated.

A photo of Albert Einstein, around it is his quote:

"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands. The result is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."

Albert Einstein was a genius. It is just too bad about his brother, Frank.

That guy was a monster.

This made me chuckle. I'm also surprised I've managed to be on this earth 38 years and never heard this before.
