Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Sorry, I should've clarified that I meant "unfalsifiable" not in the sense that it's impossible to evaluate statistically but in the sense that it's weasel wording, where regardless of the evidence, you can always retreat and declare what you said isn't false because you never made a specific enough claim compared to what you're implying.
"Doctors believe vaccines cause autism." is true in the sense that there are doctors who exist who believe that, even if the overwhelming consensus of the medical community is that the claim is fraudulent nonsense.
(Yes, I recognize the irony in retreating to a clarification of what I said; it wasn't intentional.)
