Memes

I intend to start posting memes here. Funny ones, sarcastic ones, pointed truth ones, sardonic ones. I have curated quite a collection, and I think it's worth having these snapshots of time and relevance curated somewhere fixed. In years to come they may have lost all meaning, and just be pictures with words, but here they will have small contextual descriptions so they can be placed.

On the brink of potential nuclear war, we find dark humour.

When Covid stopped being a disease among people and became a political tool

There are more.

I get the sense that the older I get the more libertarian I perceive myself to be, and yet I wouldn't label myself as such because I believe that well run social institutions do benefit us all and especially if we are all paying into them collectively, and that there is a place for the state. I just happen to think that for the last few years the states have become divorced from the people they should serve.

I also think we need to be mindful of our freedom to share our opinions and alternative facts, points of view, or news the mainstream doesn't report so widely. And I say this because, in the clamour of alternative voices, in the free for all, it's possible for the leviathans to hold the field, by dint of mass and or traditional outlets. It is still possible to be entirely correct, right and moral and still end up being cast as the outlaw.
