Got it. So only memes that directly mention a political party or political party position is political.

Since there are many communist parties across the globe, that means that any post referencing capitalism is political since making any statement on capitalism is political since it's related directly to the party stance of political parties around the world, both pro and against.

So the Microsoft Nike crossover meme is political by your definition. Glad we agree!

Yeah but see the capitalist provided the bucket, so that means they're entitled to everything inside of the bucket.

Also they own all the buckets in the world, and if you try to make your own bucket, they will use the threat of police violence to put you in jail. So you have to use their bucket.

So basically you want to go with "whatever the mods think in their gut is political, is political" and expect that you'll have a well moderated community with that as your rule?

I mean, you do you, but that doesn't sound like a recipe for success to me.

If you have to ask why the 3rd meme is political I encourage you to go read the thread beneath it. Look at how much discussion and conflict it caused. It's clearly political and basically that entire thread's discussion is proof positive.

Can you provide an objective reason why my thoughts on this are wrong?

But I think they're political. Is my opinion on what is and is not political invalid for some objective reason?

You're pretty upset that I asked a question aren't you? I wonder why that is.

Government and politicians I think are pretty self explanatory and I would agree those are inherently political, no argument there.

What do you think is part of a general culture of a country, or not? How would you define culture that has conflicting opinions? Is it solely up to your discretion, or would you agree that if anyone has any disagreement about a meme that would make it automatically political?

Is this one political because it references the FBI, a governmental organization? https://startrek.website/post/1847371 I would argue that it is political.

Is this one political because it references culture related to advertising in capitalism? I would think everyone should agree that any reference to or commentary of an economic system is inherently political because of course economic systems are controversial. I don't see how anyone could argue that references to a combination of two major brands isn't a commentary on marketing: https://programming.dev/post/3200916

I mean this one references politics so it's clearly political right? https://lemm.ee/post/8502748

I'm just curious about what you and others think is political versus not. You can't have a discussion about if something should or should not be allowed if you can't clearly define the boundaries of that thing. I find the discussion around what is and isn't politics to be an interesting one, that's all.

What does being political mean to you?

I mean how else do you expect doctors to get them in there? The peehole is too small to shove them in

Polyamory is slut praxis

Actually the Chinese government ending the lockdown after all of these large demonstrations were purely coincidence. See in my democracy I protest and my government does literally nothing to address why I protested. That's how you know democracy is working, when the government hears my concerns and completely ignores them. Unlike that authoritarian sissypee where the people protested and the government listened to them and changed course based on their demands. Listening to your people and making policy based on their concerns is authoritarian. Ignoring your people and making policy based on corporate donors is democracy.
