Awwww =3 poor widdle doom scroller. Is there too much politics? Well tough tits, youngin! Everything is political and you should be able to accept it popping up everywhere.
As for fatigue from politics that try to subvert and enrage you, have you tried not listening to said politics? What? You watch Tucker Carlson?! GTFO here...

True, god forbid people have an escape from real life's bullshit in something like a meme community.
I seriously don't understand this original post or comments like this here at all. It doesn't make any sense to me how you guys can't see why people are annoyed at seeing politics 24/7 on Lemmy, even in random completely unrelated places, like memes. If you want to start your own politically charged memes community, then go for it, but I don't understand at all why that content should be posted here in a general memes community that has nothing to do with politics in the slightest, or how/why you guys are justifying it. I don't think it's a big ask at all, but I digress.
Honestly it sounds like you came into an already existing place and are upset that it doesn't cater to you. Presumably this means you assume the default of things is catering to you.
Lemmy was written by literal communists and was full of literal communists until all the ledditors came over. You weren't expecting the memes community on the communist reddit clone to have any political memes?
And you weren't expecting it but were exposed to it, why are you complaining instead of blocking the community and going somewhere else. Do you feel like existing communities should bend over backwards to suit your preferences?
How did you misconstrue and twist my point this badly? You just made a few massive jumps here that make no sense to me at all, and I'm not sure as to what brought you to those conclusions based off my reply. Maybe this is a joke that I'm missing?
Things you are fine with aren't bullshit to you and therefore they are nonpolitical.
???? Political things are political. Nonpolitical things are nonpolitical. What I'm "fine with" has nothing to do with what I find political or not, and I never claimed otherwise. No idea where you got that from or what in my reply alluded you to that. Did you read a different comment and just accidentally reply to mine? Genuinely wondering at this point, that would explain it for sure.
At the end of the day, I'm not promoting or defending a specific political agenda like you're making it out as, you have no idea who I am or what my political beliefs are or what I'm "fine with", I'm just saying I think political shit as a whole shouldn't be as prevalent as it is here in a random general memes community that has nothing to do with politics, and people are totally justified to be annoyed by or wanting to criticize that. I just don't understand at all why you're trying to make this out as some double standard, when it doesn't exist.
Things that affect other people, making other people concerned about them, are bullshit to you because you got yours.
Are you trolling? This is a general memes community, not a political recruitment center, like what??? Plenty of political and social issues directly impact me, but its irrelevant, and I still think its weird to force them into places that are completely unrelated, like a general memes community for instance. Not everyone makes or wants their entire life to be about politics, sorry I guess?
I also never called any specific political issues or concerns bullshit... I assume you misunderstood my saying of "real life's bullshit", but I think it's clear and painfully obvious what I meant by that with the context, that life is full of issues and shit that go on 24/7, and sometimes people just want an escape and break from it over the internet, so no idea how or why you're twisting it this much, just like you've managed to twist everything else I said here. :/
I'm sorry but I don't believe you made this comment in good faith at all, this is by far the dumbest and weirdest comment I have ever received in my life, if this was Reddit, I would give you an award for it, gg, like literally... what am I reading here? All you did was completely twist what I said and jump to massive conclusions about me, you should genuinely be ashamed, this is just embarrassing.
There isn't much worth responding to in your wall of label-dodging sophistry.
Politics exist, "bullshit" to you or not. Almost everything imaginable has political context and connections even if you plug your ears and make loud noises.
I'm sorry but
You're not sorry. Spare me the Reddit cliches.
I don't believe you made this comment in good faith at all
I don't think you're willing to leave your bubble and see that the world is larger and more intersectionally connected than your selfish whining about how the world other people inhabit isn't as comfortably easy for you to ignore anymore.
There isn't much worth responding to in your wall of label-dodging sophistry.
What are you still trying to insinuate by this? Why can't you just accept the fact that we have different opinions and there's nothing wrong with that, instead of accusing me of "label-dodging sophistry" or whatever else you can come up with. I never personally attacked you or your politics at all, so its just hard for me to understand why you're being like this. It isn't that deep. You're just treating me like I went out of my way to shit on you or your politics, when I never did, my point was completely irrelevant of any political belief I or you may have, unlike what you keep trying to frame it as.

Wow, I didn't realize I said politics didn't exist, thanks for informing me of that. Is there anything else I never said that I should know about?
Like no shit, of course politics exist, and sure, a lot of things in life are political, but usually not to this extent that they are currently, and some people just want an escape from it through places like a general memes community that has nothing to do with politics in nature, that's all I was trying to say. People have a right to criticize or be annoyed by that, that was my point, but you can't seem to comprehend that.
You're not sorry. Spare me the Reddit cliches.
FWIW I do genuinely feel bad for having to respond this way to you, I'm perfectly open to talking to people with different perspectives or opinions than I have, but instead you chose to make a bad faith comment attacking me and completely twisting what I said, it's unfortunate.

I think you base your entire life off of your political beliefs and can't understand that others don't feel the same way. It isn't that hard to understand.
I think you base your entire life off of your political beliefs
Your pretenses that you do not are the political beliefs that you base your life off of, with blinders on.
It isn't that hard to understand.
It is for you. You're that firmly and deeply rectally and cranially inverted, and this all started because of your whining about others having "politics" that you don't want to see.

You're really falling back on "common sense" huh?
I can see the same thread you can. This is a mischaracterization of the feedback you've received.
Not everything is catering to you. You're coming in to this with a really entitled attitude.

Memes are DNA of the soul. Of course there's politics involved because it impacts the soul.
