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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If conservatives were funny we probably wouldn't be having this conversation, you are right.

We live during a critical point in history, and I am determined to laugh at it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can laugh or you can cry. Personally, I choose both.

lemmitor :"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.

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! wojak-nooo

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?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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:

That's 5 of the 6 memes posted in that timespan.

1 and 3 are pretty directly political lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Here let me give you the codex.

When this person says "political" they mean "things I dont agree with"
