:"Everything I don't like is political. If it's something I like, then it's not political, but just common sense and has been that way since the dawn of time."

Sounding an awful lot like Gamers.
Two genders, male and political.
Two races, white and political.
Three sexual orientations, straight, hot lesbians, and political.

Gundam: the Witch From Mercury went from hot lesbians to political lesbians when they showed no-room-for-theoretical-male-senpai commitment and exchange of friendship rings! 
We live during a critical point in history, and I am determined to laugh at it
You can laugh or you can cry. Personally, I choose both.
Do you want people to stop coming here? Because this is how you can get people to stop coming here.
I absolutely want smug liberals to stop coming here. If this meme offends you then please stop coming here. Thanks.
I'm neither smug nor a liberal. I'm simply tired of repetitive, dumb and US centric political memes. Lemmy started out sort of ok but it's turning into a very annoying place.
I've been using Lemmy for four years now, and this instance only started becoming an annoying place after Reddit migration with people constantly complaining that Lemmy isn't like Reddit.
Except that I'm not complaining about that and my acccount is not in your instance. But yeah, sure buddy. Believe what you want.
Not sure why you think it's relevant what instance your account is on. As long as instances federate we see each others posts.
I know how Lemmy works. You're the one who said "this instance".
And since this instance federates with your instance, you are part of the content here.
So? You're talking about the content in this specific community, not the instance. Just accept you misspoke and move on.
For someone who hates reddit, you sure act a lot like a redittor.
The irony of you nitpicking what I said while accusing me of acting like a redditor is pretty funny.
im not even a conservative but someone post hardcore conservative memes to show the communists why non-stop spamming their ideology is annoying
edit: the responses prove my point
If conservatives were funny we probably wouldn't be having this conversation, you are right.
Lemmy.ml is fundamentally a communist community. Leave it and join somewhere like Lemmy.world if you want to be part of a community that doesn't have a political agenda. This energy you are expanding complaining that a social network isn't meeting your expectations could be more productively spent just checking which ones do and which ones don't. You might as well be complaining about all the Star Trek memes on the Star Trek Lemmy instance.
Lemmy.world is not apolitical. They're zionists. I submit for proof, the post that resulted in my site wide ban:
I think you're the guy I saw over there rambling on about an unfair moderation action then someone pulled the moderation log and it was for saying something like "you can turn any Jew into a Nazi by giving them some land."
I guess you're the guy who pulls words out of context and tweaks them to fit their agenda. My shtick is cuter because it's based on how nationalism actually works. You realize that the whole reason Jews make an easy scapegoat is that they weren't tied to land, right? That was the biggest reason Nazis wanted them culled. Turns out, Israel proved them right. You tie a religion to some land and it's easy to pervert a faith into fascism.
That smuglord in a recent thread that said "programming.dev doesn't allow politics" certainly allows programming.dev's nonpolitical politics to ooze anywhere I can see a programming.dev user address of origin. 
"I don't have time to discuss politics, I'm too busy getting the master and slave drives to work together."
I never got the complaints about that. It's not inherently bad to have one thing exert complete control over another thing.. the problem is when you start doing it to people
I don't think I've seen anyone with a problem with the computing concept itself, they have a problem with the unnecessarily unpleasant and offensive nomenclature. There's lots of ways to express a leader/follower dynamic that's intuitively understandable. Hell, call them Dom/Sub drives if you want to.
There's just no good reason to invoke historical attrocity that's still ongoing to describe a concept like this.
Ok fair point and that is a really funny idea. But afaict dom/sub dynamics aren't complete control and it would be pretty dangerous if they were
Are we supposed to read every post and every comment even if we don't like it ?
That seems so unfair ! We should have a right not to read posts and comments if we find them about a subject we don't want to interact with right then.
Otherwise we might become like those tankies in their echo chamber.
lol I just found out that I can block users
