I just want to post a reminder that this is the general memes community, and we'd prefer for political memes to be directed to c/politicalmemes.

Thanks, TPM

What about events that happened over 50 years ago?

Or events like the Titanic, which was very political at the time?

The spirit of the rule is to keep the memes community from being a place for proselytizing one's politics.

So, for example, using a >50 year old event in a meme to show "this is why communism is bad" or "It's like we're all on the Titanic, because we've gotta watch out for ICE!" would both be rule-breaking, but something like "local man named Abe Lincoln refuses to go to theater" would be fair game.

It's amazing how many people are raging about the rules of a couple communities about no politics when I can count dozens of active communities who are political based.

Everything's over. I'm mentally drained. I just want to zone out and look at memes.

Good thing it isn't your baby getting murder or raped must be a nice to be privileged to just ignore everything and zone out.

I just cruise NSFW subs. Nothing political there. Everyone loves a nice butt or pair of breasts

so name 3 meme places that allow politics?

americans are just pathetic. that is the problem. pruderie was the beginning. the cuckholders from across the pond fell for the silicon valley fear like there can be only a bot ruling us all because ppl are bad. i think it is more amazing that americans can even breathe by themselvs. so "real" politics would blow their "mind".
