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.
What does being political mean to you?
In this context, it's matters related to government, politicians, or the general culture of a country, in which there are two or more major camps of conflicting opinions, where a good deal of people in one or more of those camps view the other camp as evil because of their view.
If the post is in a community where only one of the camps is significantly present, but the post is attacking the other camp, it is still political.
Why do you ask? Are you hoping to expose some inconsistency in my definition? Maybe use it to call something I like political with the expectation that I'll disagree with you? Or were you expecting my definition to be biased, calling something political that shouldn't be, so that you could expose me as a moustache-twirling villain?
youre gonna have to get more specific there. what part of American "culture" grinds your gears and you want to see less of?
skibidi toilet memes are american culture and thus political
