Like genocidal madman Mao, the “younger generation” of rotten Communists will probably start shearing Hong Kong women’s hair.

Seen on reddit

When your communist dictatorship bans masks but doesn't mention face paint. Feels good man.

Won’t have to; the women will shave their own hair to burn to keep warm, as Communism ‘improves’ things.

Be assured, more than one thought of the pastry!
(hand slowly going up here).

That it could be a ski mask never crossed the mind.
