    Political memes -> memes complaining about political memes -> memes complaining about memes complaining about political memes

    Can we go deeper?

    For me it’s not even about that. I do not care about US politics, I just want to see some funny memes

      I dunno where you’re from but as a Canadian I’m dismayed when Canadians say they don’t care about u.s politics. Considering u.s politics influence our every day life just as much as the politics of our own Parliament. Anyone who has been to a major Canadian city and has seen Canadian idiots with the same Maga mentality, will tell you that u.s politics is a huge part of our life

        We have our own issues to solve first and foremost . I live in a major Canadian city and I’ve never seen maga people, I honestly blame those people watching too much American politics in the first place.

        I find it quite difficult to block only US politics due to how it’s the “default” so people rarely specify it’s the US. It also just tends to be constant work as new scandals and stuff pop up.

        If anyone has some good filters please let me know.

      Exactly. We complainers aren’t saying they can’t post about politics, just requesting they post their political memes in the designated political meme space.

      EDIT: A message to people from Hexbear

      Thank you for your input, but I stopped responding to arguments here at least 24 hours ago because I can’t juggle that many conversations at once. I would ask that you respect that and not continue to argue with me about what is and isn’t political, because I’m just going to ignore it anyways. Thank you.

      The funny thing is, deciding which memes are political and which memes are not political is itself a political decision

      You just can’t escape it

    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 :-(

      We have the best memes. We are a meme force to be reckoned with.

      Also, we’re desperate for some mirth to lighten the burden of how horrible some of our politicians are.

        Y’know I’m a patriot and all, but I wish we didn’t spend so much of our national budget on the Meme Force. Let’s stop shipping our memes overseas and start meming in our local communities

          We could fund universal healthcare and free university for every American if we cut out Meme Force budget by just 10%, but then China’s Meme Force would be larger than the US and we can’t have that

      I’ll never understand people who say this stuff. Like, make your own? Ask other Europeans to make them? What are we supposed to do, NOT post, because the minority of users don’t feel like their relevant?

    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.

          I’ve never been on hexbear or even seen them since .world doesn’t federate. You do know this works like reddit and people can see your comment history, not to mention your username is noticeable.
