Please post more political memes particularly about non-US politics.

[–] be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is someone stopping people from doing so?

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll try to watch some world news and see if i can find anything meme worthy. America is just so easy to meme, its low hanging fruit really.

[–] JGrffn@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The internet IS very US-centric, so this is kinda true, but it's also very easy to abuse and bore people out. I'm Honduran and I know more about US Politics than about my country's own politics. I know more about US politics than I do about every other country. This is not a flex, it's a fucking burden on my mind and mental health.

I kinda liked how Lemmy wasn't too US-centric at first, but I'm feeling similar levels of burnout from Lemmy as I did from Reddit, which was mostly due to how much US shit was posted there just about everywhere.

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

I don't care which side is saying it I'm just tired of it (for the same reason I am tired of advertising)

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

What, you can't have your paper thin consumer behaviour challenged huh??? Huh?!?

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you want people to stop coming here? Because this is how you can get people to stop coming here.

[–] MisterScruffy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do you come here if not to see other people's opinions?

[–] snowbell 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stuff that brings me joy. Posting left wing political shit on lemmy is like, the epitome of preaching to the choir. Every time I see some unnecessary political take that everyone here agrees with anyway, like there's always that one person in any thread that has to bring politics into things and I'm just like nope, I'm out. Got better things to do than have my mood ruined by thinking about the worst parts of life. Its like you people are intentionally trying to make everyone miserable.

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, 1000%. This is exactly how I feel about this stuff.

We're here to escape from the world to some extent, not constantly be reminded about it, specifically the worst parts

[–] jackpot@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

im not even a conservative but someone post hardcore conservative memes to show the communists why non-stop spamming their ideology is annoying

edit: the responses prove my point

[–] neptune@dmv.social 25 points 1 year ago

If conservatives were funny we probably wouldn't be having this conversation, you are right.

[–] TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ah yes the opposite of communism is child marriage, lack of reproductive rights, and telling trans-people they don't exist. Such good meme potential, that's why truth social is the funniest place on the internet.

[–] Bloxlord@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

It appears you have a paper thin understanding of the world around you. Some conservative meme spam should fix that.

[–] GreatGrapeApe@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Conservatism isn't the same thing everywhere. Your post is very American centric.

[–] TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The OP is literally an American flag colored bald eagle.

[–] GreatGrapeApe@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

OP for me looks like Dale Earnhart

[–] HornyOnMain@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

oh yeah, in some places you have progressive conservatives who still want to kill the homeless people but skip out on harming the queer people and ethnic minorities

[–] msage@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Please point me to a place where conservatism means something else, thank you

[–] Piers 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Lemmy.ml is fundamentally a communist community. Leave it and join somewhere like Lemmy.world if you want to be part of a community that doesn't have a political agenda. This energy you are expanding complaining that a social network isn't meeting your expectations could be more productively spent just checking which ones do and which ones don't. You might as well be complaining about all the Star Trek memes on the Star Trek Lemmy instance.

In its majestic equality, the law allows conservatives and communists alike to make posts, get votes, and to cry if nobody clicks it.

[–] Piers 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah but more importantly, if you go to a website specifically aimed at communists and don't like all the communism that's a you problem.

someone post hardcore conservative memes

It's nice to have something to point and laugh at sometimes

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago
[–] Ullallulloo@civilloquy.com 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Pointtwogo@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Imao!!! This is so fucking true.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stop posting memes with color blue!

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yet, your avatar has the color blue. Curious.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe we were the memes all along.

[–] Snipe_AT@lemmy.atay.dev 4 points 1 year ago

lol I just found out that I can block users

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

"You don't get snakes from chicken eggs"

Oh the irony.

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.
