    Lol I literally just thought to myself before scrolling to your post “I think I’ve seen 25 communist themed posts in an hour”

    my other thoughts “wtf is 196?” And “Rule?!” Guess I missed the memo.

    politic it up people, I personally dgaf. In the end, though: generally speaking, glorifying shitty people is glorifying shitty people, imo.

      196 is some meme sub from reddit, the rule is you gotta post a meme or some shit like that.

      Yeah 196 has been a thing for years, reddit just hushed them and other disproportionately active subs down with their algorithms to stop them taking over all, which is fair enough really as it’s good to have a mix of subs as long as there’s still a chance for each to show
