Need a politics-free safe space? It's called "going for a walk"

Everything is political and you should be able to accept it popping up everywhere.

True, god forbid people have an escape from real life's bullshit in something like a meme community.

I seriously don't understand this original post or comments like this here at all. It doesn't make any sense to me how you guys can't see why people are annoyed at seeing politics 24/7 on Lemmy, even in random completely unrelated places, like memes. If you want to start your own politically charged memes community, then go for it, but I don't understand at all why that content should be posted here in a general memes community that has nothing to do with politics in the slightest, or how/why you guys are justifying it. I don't think it's a big ask at all, but I digress.
