Yay... More American political memes in every sub... Woooooooo.

I don't think it's American, it's mostly a troll account with 12 hours spamming tankie propaganda

I don't think saying "All memes are political" is exclusively a right thing to dislike.

Especially since a lot of memes grew from people who were absolutely too young to be thinking about politics.

Sure there are memes that are political, but to say all memes are is just kindof...appropriating?

I mean it's entirely possible I don't know the political significance of pepe, but I was also never really shown a reason to ask.

I mean, a lot of people who are conservative are supporting Right To Repair, I'm not saying we should cave to the right, I'm just saying we should make an effort to agree with them when they are based (which isn't often) cause otherwise we'll just increase the divide.

No, it's just stupid. Nobody's upset about what it says, we just don't like it because it's dumb.

It's not that i'm not funny, it's that they are all triggered
