Wow, this one touched some nerves.

I’d recommend posting a tangentially political meme at some point on Lemmy.

The amount of people who will come out of the woodwork to tell you ‘don’t post this’ and ‘don’t make things political’ will really be eye opening.

People don’t want to address systemic issues and think not talking about them is a viable solution.

Just making comments about rich people and their taxes seems to do the same thing here.

Don't even have to go THAT far, I get called a commie for saying a 40 hour work week should provide basic shelter these days. 🤷

If we want to live in boring reality, it doesn't happen a LOT but way more than it should.

I mean that was and is a basic communist agitating point, you might be closer to a communist than you think.

I don't know if this is supposed to be snarky or not but I've accepted a while ago that I'm definitely some version of "leftist."

I don't see myself that way necessarily but capitalists are drawing their line in the sand so far to the right that it is what it is lmao

It was meant to be snarky as in laughing with you not at you.

We do want adress systematic issues, just in the right communities. When i visis memes i wanna see funny memes. In dankmemes i wanna see dank memes. In NCD i wanna see non credible military stuff.

That's the issue
