You’re pretty upset that I asked a question aren’t you? I wonder why that is.
Government and politicians I think are pretty self explanatory and I would agree those are inherently political, no argument there.
What do you think is part of a general culture of a country, or not? How would you define culture that has conflicting opinions? Is it solely up to your discretion, or would you agree that if anyone has any disagreement about a meme that would make it automatically political?
Is this one political because it references the FBI, a governmental organization? https://startrek.website/post/1847371 I would argue that it is political.
Is this one political because it references culture related to advertising in capitalism? I would think everyone should agree that any reference to or commentary of an economic system is inherently political because of course economic systems are controversial. I don’t see how anyone could argue that references to a combination of two major brands isn’t a commentary on marketing: https://programming.dev/post/3200916
I mean this one references politics so it’s clearly political right? https://lemm.ee/post/8502748
I’m just curious about what you and others think is political versus not. You can’t have a discussion about if something should or should not be allowed if you can’t clearly define the boundaries of that thing. I find the discussion around what is and isn’t politics to be an interesting one, that’s all.
I think can answer the memes questions for you.
- Non political
- Non political
- I guess it could be considered political in a way, but it doesn’t target a specific party or opinion so I’d let it through.
Lmao. The FBI: famously non-political government organization that murders activists as easily as one can breath air.
And Microsoft: famously non-political company that bribes lobbies the u.s government constantly to gain monopoly over their market, works hand-in-hand with federal agencies to monitor system users, and regularly influences city, state, and national politics in the pursuit of subsidies of the American worker in order to further boost their already gross profit margins.
I’m not disagreeing that some companies can have a political impact on the world.
Those memes in particular, aren’t focused on the political aspects. You have to be missing a brain in order to miss the point there.
But I think they’re political. Is my opinion on what is and is not political invalid for some objective reason?
You’re entitled to your opinion. It doesn’t make it less wrong though, the content of the memes is clearly not political.
Not upset, just suspicious because I’ve seen you asking that question a lot.
Obviously what I consider political is up to my discretion, but I’m pretty sure the general definition does not include contentious memes, and mine doesn’t either because I gave a clause about one side considering the other side evil because of it.
In general, if a person asks themselves “is what I’m posting political?” they can answer correctly 95% of the time, and the 5% of edge cases won’t upset 95% of the complainers.
That’s an awful lot of words to implicitly say “it’s not political if I agree with it”
“If a person asks themselves is this political they can answer correctly 95% of the time.”
Yea turns out it’s easier to answer a question correctly if you’re deciding I’d the answer is right or not.
That’s an awful lot of words to implicitly say “it’s not political if I agree with it”
Where are you getting that?
