    My main problem is that most of the memes aren’t even funny.

    Make memes that are funny and then we can talk

    Politics impact our lives, of course we talk about it. In the US basic human rights are being fought over. I bet if you were in danger of losing some civil rights you’d be interested in how it’s going lol.

      The definition of Privalage is not having to worry about politics because you are so secure in your place in our Capitalist Society Hierarchy.

    And the other two thirds are politics posts.

    You don’t have to make everything political. It’s okay just to have fun and like things.

    I live in São Paulo state, very leftist person. My city voted 86% for Bolsonaro, so good luck going for a walk to find a politic free space.

      Fr it really has me considering leaving. Going back to reddit? Probably not. But it really has become a problem. Feels like I’m just browsing the old ChapoTrapHouse board sometimes

        I hate to tell ya this but it’s like that all over the internet with any population of reasonable size. This is the noise of smashing huge amounts of people from all walks of lives and experiences together.

        Of course the thing in common to talk about is the thing that impacts our lives the most.

      I went to the internet and they were talking about not talking about politics.

      Feel like this was half of the comments on that post. The other half was politics.

      It’s always this sub… with the stupid Joe Biden memes. I don’t care… stop showing me politicians.

      I wish I could just filter posts with that shade of orange in the thumbnail. So sick of seeing his face. The anti trump people are even more obsessed with him than the trumpets.

      It just sucks how many don’t include them in the title so you think you’re getting a meme and instead you get some dumb shit.

      It would be great if Lemmy implemented a user tagging system so people could tag posts and use those for filters

    Just reading some of the arguments between people of different political persuasions on this post would fry your brain.

    The world has become political and its not for the better, but it is what it is. You don’t get to choose to not be involved anymore. World doesn’t work that way.

    Don’t wanna play the game? Go touch grass.

      Imean, it was always that way… The perception that it wasn’t is exactly why we’re having so many problems today.

      The system is very much not self-correcting.

    And generally, the political discussions don’t even rise to the intellectual level of shitposting.
