I'm fine with politics on the internet, but why spam it on a memes community...

Point me to a time/place when politics were not completely intertwined with meme communities.

Oh, right. That doesn't actually exist.

Back in the 2000s, most memes were just cat pictures. Longcat [is long], ceiling cat [is watching you], keyboard cat, grumpy cat etc.

Also #BrusselsLockdown hashtag was used in 2015 to ease political tension.
