You know, i do actually very often concur with these kinds of content, like the ones saying billionaires are leaches on society and governments are often used as a weapon to protect the ruling classes.

But man… when i come to lemmy i kinda want to only see memes, and funny stuff… even communities that are not niches to political content get political way too often. Like gotdammit, when i get to c/comics i just want to see funny drawings, i’m way too tired to want to see your lame class war comic…

Is that a feeling i’m the only one feeling?

edit: i think what makes it worse is that very often they’re not even funny, just literal propaganda, “good guy propaganda”, maybe, but still propaganda

    Posts complaining about “politics” and “propaganda” are invariably made by people who want to see those things, just the kind aligned with their politics.

    I think the first time I saw this meme format was around 2002-2004. And I’ve seen it 10,000 times since then. And if OP is posting this in good faith, this will be the first time.

    And BTW, there is no such thing as a space without propaganda or politics. Only spaces where the politics and propaganda are homestyle and cozy.

      Honestly, I kinda enjoy seeing the opposite side, the lefty shit

      It reminds me just how insane the left can actually get. Like y’all think taking guns is a good idea, that only the police should be armed. It’s just stupid.
