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
I see something like this and I'm like "oh are you trans?" And then I'm like "oh or a cis woman?" And then I'm like "oh or an immigrant or any shade of brown?" "Oh or a working class man?" And I just end up thinking of every identity combination because there are maybe 5 people on earth that this admin hasn't been extremely hostile to, and even for them it's only a matter of time before they start turning on each other and eating each other too
Then you think ‘where is this being posted?’ The US, the UK, Australia, China, Russia?
Finally you realise this applies to all governments across the globe, we are at a tipping point, I just hope whoever are in charge when the power flips are the good revolutionaries and not the evil.
I know being a cynic is very popular in the under 15 set, but let’s not pretend what we’re seeing now is business as usual.
Hahaha - I’m the other end of the Lemmy age spectrum, unfortunately I’m old enough to have seen a number of right wing governments remove rights and freedoms, and successive ‘left wing’ governments do nothing to restore them because they are empowered by the same handful of people.
We are in the new age of the Robber Barons, we just call them Tech Billionaires this time.
The sooner the world realises we need to redress the balance the better, until then it will be business as usual.
