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.

First one is about technology and alienation under a capitalist mode of production, discussing work and leisure. That’s political.

Third one is about dating and advertisements online, which is related to sexual politics and commodification of sex work online. Political.

Here let me give you the codex.

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

I don’t think “I don’t like my job” is politically divisive. You don’t really get people up in arms about it unless you’re complaining about capitalism or work in general. Even boomers have their “I’d rather be fishing” meme about it.
