revolution

It's wild to think that world-changing historical events can be summed up into silly little image macros. I wonder what Marie Antoinette would say if she could see herself depicted in a chad doge vs. virgin cheems meme. It's fun to imagine how memelords a century from now might meme this 'unprecedented time' we're currently experiencing. Will 2020 be an insignificant blip in history to humans of the deep future? Or will 2020 memes get all the upvotes on some futuristic version of r/historymemes? A lot to think about. For now we'll happily continue scrolling through dank history memes about past events.

You know how some people laugh when they're nervous or anxious? Yeah, that's us right now with these memes. 2020's latest little surprise for us has been protests and riots in response to the tragic murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Accordingly, people have taken to the streets of major cities to protest police brutality and racism toward Black Americans. No one really knows what this all will amount to...revolution? More major government crackdowns? Whatever it is, we just want y'all to be safe.

And of course, if you plan to join the protests, be careful and wear a mask, because COVID-19 hasn't forgotten about us!
