    I was in a chat group that didn't allow politics and they all got pissed at me for jokingly using the expression "Fake News" about some innocuous incorrect thing we were laughing at, as that's "political". Later one of those people called a bunch of people "removed" and when I asked why that wasn't a political issue everyone acted all confused about why that would be political.

    Just a funny anecdote of Americans thinking empty joking meme phrases are politics, and actual politicized slurs used to enact genocides are just silly fun names
