Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’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 Formats
Not 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

That's 99% an ad hominem. Not defending the r*pist or his mom, just saying that skipping this sorta low-hanging whataboutism has a better chance of getting people to come to the table on public spending. If OP wasn't left-handed they'd know that.
I mean it’s not really an adhom. An adhominem implies attacking a person rather than argument. This is insulting a person for their family (assuming she probably defended him) and pointing to that insult as an example of investing in society.
Eh, to be really pedantic, ad hominem is more when you ça point how a person contradict himself in his reasoning.(The coherence of their arguments) Attacking the person itself and not their argument or how they use them is ad personam
