I hope that mods of this community limit these types of posts that aren’t memes. I’ve seen some posts that are merely political images and not memes.
Imo political memes are good and so belong among non-political memes.
This discussin has been had already regarding people posting comics instead of memes, AFAIK nobody said much about the topic so the admin ended up doing nothing.
@cyclohexane @sovietsnake @memes to me they doesn’t seem to be enough content posted to this forum to warrant such action
Imo this may be one of the reasons behind lack of content.
People are angry that their lives are falling apart because of shitty politics. People will vent about that on a forum. It’s one of the pillars of meme culture.
Thankfully people are venting in a controllable fashion online. It’s important we do not condone acts like Jan 6 or other uprisings that threaten the status quo.
What the fuck? Are you from the mirror universe? When did I ever imply that I condone Jan 6?
My bad, dropped the words “do not condone”. Comment is also sarcasm. Read again now.
so if that’s sarcastic are you saying that you do condone the Jan 6 uprising because it threatened the status quo?
All I’m saying is when people don’t stand by their values when their values actually matter, they don’t have values, they have hobbies
And the reason you don’t see communist parties staging revolutions in the West is because we know we’re too small and would get crushed, so we focus on growing instead of going out and getting killed for no hope of ever changing anything, and if the communist parties get stamped out now, they won’t have an opportunity to do anything in the future. We spend our time trying to rally the workers so maybe one day we could have that critical mass.
Why was the Jan 6 coup attempt actually attempted? Because the MAGA fascists were at a point where they genuinely believed they could succeed. Seeing how many more people openly have those views in the US compared to anything left wing, not to mention the laughable lack of legal action afterward, they weren’t wrong.
Even ants know this, and they won’t attack another colony if they think their numbers aren’t great enough to have a good chance at overwhelming them. It’s really sad that you don’t.
@OsrsNeedsF2P @HiddenLayer5 @memes Communist Parties will never be successful. Worker ownership of the means of production cannot occur through an authoritarian state capitalist system. We must empower the working class to unite in struggle and rebuild a new society inside the shell of the old, until it happens to become clear that capitalism has ceased to exist and the old shell falls off. #Solidarity4ever #IWW
Do you have examples?
Admittedly, when I went looking, I didn’t find many. I noticed this problem months ago and only spoke now. Looks like it improved a lot.
There’s also !politicalhumor@lemmy.ml.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this community. You take out the politics and you’ll be left with… Nothing.
There’s some great instances like Beehaw that might be more up your ally
As OP already stated, the problem isn’t the politics but rather that they just simply aren’t memes.
Please reread my post, as I’m not against politics. I am very pro politics in memes.
This is true, it’s like telling a racy joke but without a punchline, does it still make it a joke? (At least in theory?)
