:“Everything I don’t like is political. If it’s something I like, then it’s not political, but just common sense and has been that way since the dawn of time.”Sounding an awful lot like Gamers.
Two genders, male and political.
Two races, white and political.
Three sexual orientations, straight, hot lesbians, and political.
Three sexual orientations, straight, hot lesbians, and political.
Gundam: the Witch From Mercury went from hot lesbians to political lesbians when they showed no-room-for-theoretical-male-senpai commitment and exchange of friendship rings!
We live during a critical point in history, and I am determined to laugh at it
You can laugh or you can cry. Personally, I choose both.
Do you want people to stop coming here? Because this is how you can get people to stop coming here.
I absolutely want smug liberals to stop coming here. If this meme offends you then please stop coming here. Thanks.
I’m neither smug nor a liberal. I’m simply tired of repetitive, dumb and US centric political memes. Lemmy started out sort of ok but it’s turning into a very annoying place.
I’ve been using Lemmy for four years now, and this instance only started becoming an annoying place after Reddit migration with people constantly complaining that Lemmy isn’t like Reddit.
Except that I’m not complaining about that and my acccount is not in your instance. But yeah, sure buddy. Believe what you want.
Not sure why you think it’s relevant what instance your account is on. As long as instances federate we see each others posts.
I know how Lemmy works. You’re the one who said “this instance”.
And since this instance federates with your instance, you are part of the content here.

Otherwise we might become like those tankies in their echo chamber.
im not even a conservative but someone post hardcore conservative memes to show the communists why non-stop spamming their ideology is annoying
edit: the responses prove my point
If conservatives were funny we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation, you are right.
Lemmy.ml is fundamentally a communist community. Leave it and join somewhere like Lemmy.world if you want to be part of a community that doesn’t have a political agenda. This energy you are expanding complaining that a social network isn’t meeting your expectations could be more productively spent just checking which ones do and which ones don’t. You might as well be complaining about all the Star Trek memes on the Star Trek Lemmy instance.
Lemmy.world is not apolitical. They’re zionists. I submit for proof, the post that resulted in my site wide ban:
I think you’re the guy I saw over there rambling on about an unfair moderation action then someone pulled the moderation log and it was for saying something like “you can turn any Jew into a Nazi by giving them some land.”
I guess you’re the guy who pulls words out of context and tweaks them to fit their agenda. My shtick is cuter because it’s based on how nationalism actually works. You realize that the whole reason Jews make an easy scapegoat is that they weren’t tied to land, right? That was the biggest reason Nazis wanted them culled. Turns out, Israel proved them right. You tie a religion to some land and it’s easy to pervert a faith into fascism.
Place for memes: Exists
Political memes: Is this !politicalmemes?Exactly. We complainers aren’t saying they can’t post about politics, just requesting they post their political memes in the designated political meme space.
EDIT: A message to people from Hexbear
Thank you for your input, but I stopped responding to arguments here at least 24 hours ago because I can’t juggle that many conversations at once. I would ask that you respect that and not continue to argue with me about what is and isn’t political, because I’m just going to ignore it anyways. Thank you.
What does being political mean to you?
In this context, it’s matters related to government, politicians, or the general culture of a country, in which there are two or more major camps of conflicting opinions, where a good deal of people in one or more of those camps view the other camp as evil because of their view.
If the post is in a community where only one of the camps is significantly present, but the post is attacking the other camp, it is still political.
Why do you ask? Are you hoping to expose some inconsistency in my definition? Maybe use it to call something I like political with the expectation that I’ll disagree with you? Or were you expecting my definition to be biased, calling something political that shouldn’t be, so that you could expose me as a moustache-twirling villain?
So we can’t post memes about … checks notes the general culture of our country?
So no memes about anything with literally any specifics.
You realize if you got your wish memses would just be “how many of yall like breathing”
Maybe you could point us to an example of an acceptable meme with no politics involved.
Earlier in this thread, I said:
We complainers aren’t saying they can’t post about politics, just requesting they post their political memes in the designated political meme space.
I also clarified that it has to be contentious, in a way where people condemn each other for thinking differently.
Here are some non-political memes posted in this community in the past hour:

https://lemmy.ml/post/5186256
https://lemmy.ml/post/5186204That’s 5 of the 6 memes posted in that timespan.
1 and 3 are pretty directly political lol
Here let me give you the codex.
When this person says “political” they mean “things I dont agree with”
