    ive left a few comments here and there complaining about people posting stuff on meme comms that isn’t even a meme, just straight politics. this is what those people should be doing instead because its actually a meme. thank you.

        this community isn’t as bad about it, but if you want to see what I was talking about check out microblog memes. they are awful about it.

      The microblog memes community was awful about that. Posting a political manifesto instead of a meme. Then I got banned because I reported those posts.

        Sorry your plan to change the meaning of the word “meme” from “self replicating idea” to “funny picture” didn’t work out

          in the context of communities like these that change already happened naturally, thats how language works. its the same as how guy means man in some contexts, even though originally it meant idiot and was in reference to someone named guy who tried to bomb Parliament. language changes, context matters, and there are communities for politics that you can go to to talk politics.

            Right, but you’re wrong. The people in charge disagree. Your new definition isn’t what the rules are based on.

        yeah. i dont mind referencing politics but just straight up posting your political views should only happen (or be allowed) in relevant communities.

    There exists a Palestine, Texas. Pretty sure I can guarantee there are some Palestinians living there. Someone call the tip line.

    First I thought someone really didn’t like The Giants. Then I realized the VISA offices are right next to the stadium.

    At demonstrations in Europe people shout something that sounds like “Visa Visa Palestina”. The IDF, ADL, AIPAC, EJC and others quickly dismantle that Terror payment system!
