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, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) 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, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years.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! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

4 panel comic of two people talking

1 A: "WHY ARE YOU A FEMINIST?"

B: "BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN EQUALITY."

2 A: "THEN YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR- SELF AN "EQUALIST" OR "EGALITARIAN"."

B: "I USE "FEMINIST" BECAUSE MY MAIN FOCUS IS ON THE UNEQUAL STATUS OF WOMEN."

3 A: "SO YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT WOMEN. THAT'S NOT EQUALITY - THAT'S REVERSE SEXISM."

B, pausing to think: "I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. LET ME REPHRASE MY ANSWER."

4 B, pointing at A: "YOU."
"YOU ARE THE REASON I'M A FEMINIST."

I don't think it has anything to do with that. To me it just feels like feminists who try to sell femanism as for everyone and about equality for everyone are disingenuous. You're saying you stand for one thing but your name implies you have specific priorities which is not equal. I completely support women's rights, I just don't support calling yourself one thing and then saying your movement is about something I don't feel you follow through with.
