Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Hinestly, my interpretstion was always more that you "became more conservative" because a normal functioning society became more progressive.

Like, and please do not read too much into this example, its just used as an exaggerated example.

At one point, society became more open to interacial couples, but some had trouble adjusting so they were the conservatives.

Then society became more accepting of gay people, and those same people who pushef interacial couples became the "new conservatives".

Then society became more open to trans people, and some of those older gay people became the "new conservatives".

And in theory, the older trans accepting peolple become the "new conservstives" because of some new fangles thing for the kids, AI partners maybe.

And then the AI partner people become the "nee conservatives" because their kids are all into scewing aliens or something.

And on and on and on.

I'm convinced that all the trans hate you see these days is because homosexuality is too widely accepted now so they had to move onto an easier target.

They are losing ground

That's exactly it. They used to be able to openly discriminate against that people, but now they can't. So they moved onto an easier target in trans people. When they discovered they could scare people with the idea of men playing women's sports, they hit the bigot jackpot.
