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

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Please post more political memes particularly about non-US politics.

Political memes -> memes complaining about political memes -> memes complaining about memes complaining about political memes

Can we go deeper?

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.

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

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

That smuglord in a recent thread that said "programming.dev doesn't allow politics" certainly allows programming.dev's nonpolitical politics to ooze anywhere I can see a programming.dev user address of origin. smuglord

For me it’s not even about that. I do not care about US politics, I just want to see some funny memes

There does seem to be a huge disconnect between people who believe in the existence a meaningful category called "non-political" and reality.

I miss the good ol' days when politics weren't so political. wojak-nooo

Are we supposed to read every post and every comment even if we don't like it ?

That seems so unfair ! We should have a right not to read posts and comments if we find them about a subject we don't want to interact with right then.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

Otherwise we might become like those tankies in their echo chamber.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what even is a non-political meme? you can make a political analysis essay for every meme in existence.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Man Getting Hit By Football is a short film about rampant ableism and ageism within Springfield. As we can see with Sherman chastising Homer's boorish behavior, the film is not a comedy, but Homer is unable to see the film as anything but a comedy due to his rampant ableism and ageism, as repeatedly demonstrated throughout the years with his willful and malicious neglect of Grandpa Simpson.

I don't mind political memes, we're adults and politics plays an important part of our lives, satire on politics is a welcome part of life, BUT... why must they all be foreign memes from the Americas?

We should have a mix of political memes from all around the globe! Gods knows, Sunak or Braverman are deserving of memery.... :-P

I'm not smort enough to make memes :-(

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

Because y’all aren’t making other memes lol

Well except the Germans. I see a lot of German memes on Kbin lol

STOP POSTING ABOUT POLITICS. I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT. MY FRIENDS ON LEMMY SEND ME MEMES. ON KBIN IT'S FUCKIN' MEMES. I WAS ON AN INSTANCE, RIGHT, AND AAAAAAALLLL OF THE COMMUNITIES ARE JUST POLITICS STUFF. I- I SHOWED MY CHAMPION UNDERWEAR TO MY GIRLFRIEND, AND THE LOGO, I LOOKED AT IT, AND I SAID, "HEY BABE, WHEN THE COMMODITY IS FETISHIZED" [ding-ding-dings to the tune of The Internationale] I FUCKIN' LOOKED AT A TRASH CAN, I SAID, "UNDER CAPITALISM, WASTE PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY THAT UNDERPINS THE ENTIRE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM". I LOOK AT MY PENIS, I THINK OF THE OMNIPRESENT PHALLOCENTRISM IN OUR PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY, AND I GO, "POLITICS? MORE LIKE POLY-DICKS!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
