    I can’t find a single meme that isn’t political. Whether you like it or not there is political messaging in every single piece of media

      Well I didn't mean it like that. I obviously meant memes that the sole purpose is to bait the opposing party into raging in the comments.

      The occasional meme and critique should be fine though.

        I think the only reason some appear less political to you is that you aren’t the oppressed in those memes

          Nah. I just don't care. I don't go for memes for the political content.

          If I want to discuss politics I'll do it elsewhere.

            The very claim that you don’t care only shows that you are privileged and hence can ignore the political aspects

              Maybe I didn't get my point across clearly, that's on me. English is not my first language.

              What I meant is, I don't care about politics on the MEMES community. It's not against the rules, but my opinion is that politics should stay out of "hehe that's funny" content.

              Political content on here only serves to further divide and annoy people. Politics should be discussed just not on here (again, imo)
