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.

Can you provide an objective reason why my thoughts on this are wrong?

Acknowledging the fact that politics exist is not inherently political. Please explain how that third meme is even remotely political?

Regardless, the lack of a clear and simple political-or-not binary is not an excuse to avoid moderation. The political nature of some things will be argued and some things will slip through the cracks. It happens with all spectrums. But on the other hand, some things are so clearly political that it’s nigh impossible to argue they’re not. I’m sure you can see the massive difference in a meme about Microsoft shoes and a meme about Trump or Biden bad. Those clear extremely political memes are the ones people want banned to their own communities.

And to be clear, I actually like political memes. I just find your rebuttal to be in bad taste.

They are wrong because those memes aren’t politic. They are not mentioning any party or political affiliation in any way.

Do companies influence politics? Absolutely. But that’s not the point of the meme.
