Agreed but what’s with the weird amount of politics related memes on lemmy meme communities?I wanna laugh not continue glooming about the state of the world
I just think it's a matter of the crowd Lemmy has attracted. The circumstances of Lemmy's creation and growth aren't exactly conducive to being full of fun loving people.
By default the open source/decentralized social media movement was galvanized by idealistic and political groups who were unsatisfied with corporate social media — mainly being the libertarian-flavored, pro-free speech free software types that flourished in the early software industry, the right wing activists that proliferated in the mid 00s/early 2010s, and left-wing factions of many types fighting capitalism.
Lemmy in particular was started by developers in the communist space, and has since attracted other segments of the left and center to seed its culture.
Many segments of popular communities here are liberal or even centrist now, but the background, core user base of Lemmy retains at least a socially progressive, anti-or-critical-capitalist lens, if not further left.
It's probably state and political organizations trying to influence the election by implicitly trashing the democrats, there are farms of memers from conservative countries and organizations trying to imply that the democrats are the authoritarian party to rattle the cages of voters.
it happened in 2016 and 2020, and every American intelligence agency has been publicly cautioning voters for years that electoral manipulation through indirect methods like memes and social media posts are definitely being perpetrated by unfriendly countries and is only increasing.
It's a pretty interesting story that not many people talk about, but a lot of political memes on the internet are supplied by foreign state actors willfully trying to influence American elections, and in the case of 2016, successfully affected the outcome of the American election for the conservatives according to intelligence agencies.
Calling out the US for their support of genocide is the logical thing to do with anybody with a heart. You guys are spamming the whole internet with your election bullcrap, don't whine when foreigners gives their opinion on this. You guys are a rogue country and I hope new york gets bombed someday.
Jeez I'm just some rando reminding yanks they are genociders for free. How stupid is this? I'm just appaled by war crimes and you guys threat to invade the haag.
But now I'm learning I could get paid to insult yanks? Sounds like a great job. Would you have the address of a recruiter or something? I need a side-hussle.
The McCarthidiots are really out there saying all criticism of america's action must come from some siberian call centers lmao
Well you guys threatened to invade the haag and never gave a shit about what other countries have to say so dont be surprised if some cunt start blowing himself up in NYC metros :)
I hope you'll see your loved ones limb blown off lmao
Yanks are subhumans genocide supporters, self-admittedly voting for genocide because both side support it. They shouldn't be allowed to live
Nobody's calling me an idiot beside american (nobody that matters). The thing with nazis is that as soon as your challenge their worldview they will whine and screech as a defense mechanism. Below I got a guy genuinely saying that he cares about people's life.
Meanwhile you guys are selling bombs used to murder civilians. The worst kind of scumbags are the one who are oblivious to their own morale bankrupcy.
Imagine your sister's head flying in the air because some gaza desperate twat decided to take revenge at the people responsible for his situation instead of attacking jews.
But no, I'm doing it for sheer hate of the yanks. You guys suck ass. My gf have friends in gaza and lebannon. Your israelis are bombing her with US made bombs. So fuck you, twat. You are surely innocent, looking at yourself as the good person. You are not. I wish you get drafted and sent to the middle east to get butchered like so many did. That would teach you to support the american military complex. Fuck you.
Yanks are so stupid lmao what you think I'm gonna dox myself to prove you wrong idiot?
Liberals are nazis. Conservative are nazis. America is a fucked up country full of scums humans who are considering foreigners as subhumans. Proof is all the disguistingly racist comments about how the middle east was always at war anyway and how they pick their trans friends over foreigner. You suck ass, cunt. I repeat, I hope your children gets drafted and sent to die as a consequence of your support for the war machine. Death to america.
Bro, u don't need foreign authors to do that. The very same person that did and does that there, teach Bolsonaro and his MFs to do the same in Brazil. USA problem is not foreign authors, but inside job, even when them (Trump and his followers, backed by Steve Bannon and tons of money from people like Musk) hire external actors to do so.
One of the biggest problems of USA lies in the fact that united stadians (sorry, I refuse to call them Americans and prefer to create a name) always think that their country is being attacked, harassed and assaulted by evil external actors that wants the end of USA when these actors are, mainly, internal. And most of the externals, also hired by internal actors.
But, I admit that it is being nice to see the end of USA as an empire (even though they will die shooting and killing millions, like we are seeing in Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Siria, Libia and many others)
in 2016 and 2020, meme farms were established in Russia, China and Iran specifically to covertently attack the democratic party so that The conservatives in the US would seem more rational, because for an actors with intense to harm the US want the conservatives to gain power again.
that is happening again.
Even if OP here isn't one of the Russian meme farmers themselves, their misunderstanding of the political conflict is undoubtedly influenced by the intentionally divisive and simplified memes flooded into American social media by bad actors.
It's a dead-end, lazy barely-a-thought meme and the fashionably cynical futility of American policy analysis should be confronted.
Fuck off idiot. You guys are spamming the whole internet with your elections memes even though the rest of the world sees you are just throwing the rest of the world under the bus every four years.
"intentionally divisive and simplified memes flooded into American social media by bad actors"
Are you the paid propagandist? No way somebody normal speaks like that.
Oh and I hope you guys pays after sending two-tons bombs that they're dropping on hospitals. I hope whoever's in charge gets jailed.
I've never posted a political meme, I think I've only ever posted one meme.
"Are you the paid propagandist? No way somebody normal speaks like that."
The American government and their intelligence agencies speak like that after discovering state-sponsored meme farms in hostile countries focused on disrupting the United States elections in favor of US conservatives.
Cowards love to project their problems into external causes. Your right wingers are your responsibility, idiot. Fight them and stop throwing foreigners under the bus.
Democrats role is to enroll the disfranchised part of America and convinced them to participate in the oppression of the rest of the world. The carrot. The alternative being to get punished themselves. The stick. As usual, the carrot people are telling resistant that the stick will be their fault. You are not with the weaks. You dont give a shit about your so-called trans friend or the woman getting abortions. You are more like the capo in the gulag. The pest that turned on his own people to enforce the will of the power.
I am not wrong in saying you guys are war crimers, it's an open-secrets lmao. Dirty genociders nazis with a racist society and liberals who only want to outsource the oppression to the thirld world instead of fighting against it like cowards. Barely humans humans.
Enjoy my dick cunt your life suck, you are a nobody with no heart. A machine. A non-human. You are such a brainwashed cunt you think a legitimate antiwar movement is a foreign psy-op. I bet the vietnam opponents were moscow operative, were they?
You square cointelpretard. You suck dude. For real, did you know euthanasia is legal in switzerland? You can get tickets to Basel for cheap.
I'm gonna agree with varik here. I've noticed a deliberate contingent of "pro-Palestinian" who are clearly siphoning votes from Harris. They seem to be targeting naive leftists and Midwest Muslims, and they always intentionally obfuscate just how much more brutal and awful Trump would be.
The quote around "pro-palestinians" makes me hate americans even more lmao. People are getting bombed and starved and they are so heartless they take an antiwar movement as a foreign psy-op.
I bet vietnam war opponents were moscow operatives, were they? The COINTELPRO narrative.
Trump is your responsibility as an american, idiot. The same way sending bomb to israel is your responsibility as an american. So fuck you, you have blood on your hand. Look at yourself in the mirror real good.
Then execute the fucker. How is he even allowed to run in the first place. America is a rogue genocide-supporting country. I hope they get their coup lmao after all the innocents yanks were silent while their country regimechanged half of the world. Time to get a taste of your own medecine lmao
It is not by and for communists. Just because the main dev of a project adheres to a certain ideology it doesn’t mean everyone adheres to that ideology. In fact the communist section of lemmy is pretty much defederated from the rest
It doesn’t matter what it was created for, it matters what it is now. You can’t say that marxists are even close to being the majority of users.
A huge portion of the community also blocks the two tankie instances on their own account, it’s just that world did it because it’s one of the bigger instances and wanted to keep a good image of the platform
