Lmao. The FBI: famously non-political government organization that murders activists as easily as one can breath air.
And Microsoft: famously non-political company that bribes lobbies the u.s government constantly to gain monopoly over their market, works hand-in-hand with federal agencies to monitor system users, and regularly influences city, state, and national politics in the pursuit of subsidies of the American worker in order to further boost their already gross profit margins.
There’s no point arguing with you since you can’t understand the basic concept of what the point of a meme is nor can you read what I previously wrote.
since you can’t understand the basic concept of what the point of a meme is
You think the basic concept of a meme is an increasingly stale chuckle you get while being in an ever-smaller bubble world because the world outside of that is scary and uncomfortable to you.
Keep your head in the sand as deep and long as you like, but that doesn’t change the fact that almost everything imaginable has some intersectional political context, including whining about things being too political.
You may not notice it when you’re comfortable and used to it, but it’s there.
Simple as that.
The only thing simple about it is your willful ignorance and the ever-smaller bubble world you’re trying to hold together because the world outside of it is scary and political.
I get what you mean, even thought I don’t entirely agree.
If you go to extremes, everything can be political. That’s not the reality more often than not.
Also, I don’t mind politics, and I enjoy different opinions. However, I don’t think memes where the point is clearly to annoy or trigger any political party or political movement belong here though.
In sum, I respect and appreciate any and all political opinions, on political centric communities.
I just want to look at stupid memes and unwind, I don’t want to see the the usual left/right/capitalist/socialist/communist arguments.
No you have to be missing a brain to think monopolies don’t have anything to do with politics.
Stealing a line from something I saw earlier. If you don’t like the memes just ignore them like you do the homeless people you walk by, non-politically.
Oh god. How thick can you be? You did not read correctly, indeed. The question was if the meme was political.
And it clearly is, since it references political entities and distributes the ideology of whoever is OP of the meme to a bunch of unsuspecting lurkers that falsely assume it’s non-political. Also the fact that you disagree about what is and what isn’t political makes it political
Remove the hexbear instance and you’ll see that most of the comments agree on what is and isn’t politics, even thought their feelings towards X and Y political party differ.
It’s seems it’s just you guys creating a shit storm of nonsense and everybody else kinda getting along despite their differences.
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.
So basically you want to go with “whatever the mods think in their gut is political, is political” and expect that you’ll have a well moderated community with that as your rule?
I mean, you do you, but that doesn’t sound like a recipe for success to me.
If you have to ask why the 3rd meme is political I encourage you to go read the thread beneath it. Look at how much discussion and conflict it caused. It’s clearly political and basically that entire thread’s discussion is proof positive.
Got it. So only memes that directly mention a political party or political party position is political.
Since there are many communist parties across the globe, that means that any post referencing capitalism is political since making any statement on capitalism is political since it’s related directly to the party stance of political parties around the world, both pro and against.
So the Microsoft Nike crossover meme is political by your definition. Glad we agree!
I think can answer the memes questions for you.

Those memes in particular, aren’t focused on the political aspects. You have to be missing a brain in order to miss the point there.
You can’t have one without the other and you’d have to have a brain smoother than melting butter in order to miss the point there
There’s no point arguing with you since you can’t understand the basic concept of what the point of a meme is nor can you read what I previously wrote.
There’s no point arguing with you since you’re detached from material reality, nor can you read what I previously wrote.

What? This is a community for memes. Political debate isn’t memes. Simple as that.

I never said they don’t have anything to do with politics you dumbfuck. Re-read my post.
Ok I re read the part where you said
And interpreted that to mean you didn’t think it was political.
If that wasn’t the intent you should work on communicating more clearly, or not being mad when people correctly read what you posted.
Oh god. How thick can you be? I meant the MEME isn’t political. Never said anything about Microsoft or other big companies.
You did not read correctly, indeed. The question was if the meme was political, not Microsoft.

You guys are making it political.
Remove the hexbear instance and you’ll see that most of the comments agree on what is and isn’t politics, even thought their feelings towards X and Y political party differ. It’s seems it’s just you guys creating a shit storm of nonsense and everybody else kinda getting along despite their differences.
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?

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.
Got it. So only memes that directly mention a political party or political party position is political.

You almost got it buddy. Keep trying though, you’re very close!
“You’re almost in the direction of my feelings about what is political and what isn’t based upon how I feel about it!”
