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.
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 :-(
Imao!!! This is so fucking true.
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
Nah but this is all Lemmy is at this point. That sucks. We need more than this.
It's ok that this has a place here. But we need more than this.
Want some hard truths? Blinders off, reddit is still a much better place for content than Lemmy.
Honestly I'm getting tired of it.
Edit - I feel the need to say that there is actually one consistent thing on Lemmy that is fantastic - rpgmemes, specifically the ongoing series about a goblin high priestess playing dnd.

Ha, ain't happening. StUpid title!
It's about not posting shit tier "memes". And yes I must use the quotes because many of you people don't actually know what a meme is and have taken the boomer Facebook approach off putting shitty text over a picture and calling it a day.
lol I just found out that I can block users
Oh the irony.
Oh yeah, I'm sure these political memes are making some very deep points and are gonna change the minds of alllll those staunch MAGAs who are obviously all over Lemmy.
