Please post more political memes particularly about non-US politics.

I’m intrigued. What about electricity?

Last year I could have bought a new PS5 every month for the cost of electricity. Things have settled now but it’s still expensive - I switched a lot of my personal infra to the cloud and Intel NUCs to cut down the cost 😭
IMO If people want to post hard political material on a mainstream meme community, I wish they would make a minimum effort to make it relatable to those outside of the various originator echo chamber communities.
The constant “US Bad” “China Bad” and adjacent topics targeting a specific political audience gets annoying with how repetitive it is - if it’s not politics related to my region OR suggesting ways I can improve things, I could not honestly give a bigger dump
In Finland our prices jumped up for a while but have since gone back to normal. At least insofar as it’s not a news topic anymore.

Is someone stopping people from doing so?
I’ll try to watch some world news and see if i can find anything meme worthy. America is just so easy to meme, its low hanging fruit really.
The internet IS very US-centric, so this is kinda true, but it’s also very easy to abuse and bore people out. I’m Honduran and I know more about US Politics than about my country’s own politics. I know more about US politics than I do about every other country. This is not a flex, it’s a fucking burden on my mind and mental health.
I kinda liked how Lemmy wasn’t too US-centric at first, but I’m feeling similar levels of burnout from Lemmy as I did from Reddit, which was mostly due to how much US shit was posted there just about everywhere.
I know more about US politics than my own country politics and this is pretty blessing imo, it’s like so depressing and toxic
STOP POSTING ABOUT POLITICS. I’M TIRED OF SEEING IT. MY FRIENDS ON LEMMY SEND ME MEMES. ON KBIN IT’S FUCKIN’ MEMES. I WAS ON AN INSTANCE, RIGHT, AND AAAAAAALLLL OF THE COMMUNITIES ARE JUST POLITICS STUFF. I- I SHOWED MY CHAMPION UNDERWEAR TO MY GIRLFRIEND, AND THE LOGO, I LOOKED AT IT, AND I SAID, “HEY BABE, WHEN THE COMMODITY IS FETISHIZED” [ding-ding-dings to the tune of The Internationale] I FUCKIN’ LOOKED AT A TRASH CAN, I SAID, “UNDER CAPITALISM, WASTE PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY THAT UNDERPINS THE ENTIRE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM”. I LOOK AT MY PENIS, I THINK OF THE OMNIPRESENT PHALLOCENTRISM IN OUR PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY, AND I GO, “POLITICS? MORE LIKE POLY-DICKS!”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Guess the anthems:
-
Ding ding ding ding, di-ding, ding ding ding ding, di-ding, ding ding ding ding.
-
Ding di-ding ding ding DING! Ding di-ding, ding ding ding.
-
Ding di-ding, ding ding, di-ding, ding, ding di-ding, ding ding, di-ding!
-
Ding, di-ding ding ding, ding, ding di-di-di-di-ding ding, di-di-di-di-di-di-DING.
-
Ding, ding, di-ding…
-
Ding, di-ding, ding, ding, ding, di-di-ding. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, di-di-DING.
- United Kingdom (or Liechtenstein, whose anthem uses the same melody)
- United States of America
- Dunno
- People’s Republic of China
- Canada
- Dunno
Hopefully number 3 and 6 will come to me later!
What does the fox say?

Exactly. We complainers aren’t saying they can’t post about politics, just requesting they post their political memes in the designated political meme space.
EDIT: A message to people from Hexbear
Thank you for your input, but I stopped responding to arguments here at least 24 hours ago because I can’t juggle that many conversations at once. I would ask that you respect that and not continue to argue with me about what is and isn’t political, because I’m just going to ignore it anyways. Thank you.
You’re on the memes community for a political instance. If you were complaining about politics in the lemm.ee or lemmy.world meme communities I’d be entirely with you.

Stop hanging out in spaces defined by political affiliation then. It’s your responsibility to chose spaces that meet your needs. Don’t hang out in the wrong place then sulk because it’s not what you want it to be.

You’re not on “Lemmy”. Your a pawb.social user on a Lemmy.ml community. Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy. Lemmy.ml is an Lemmy instance (just like pawb.social.) The purpose of the Lemmy.ml instance is for communists to come together to talk communist shit. The memes community within Lemmy.ml therefore is an absolutely perfect place for them to post left-wing memes. If you want to see memes by and for a general purpose audience then hang out at at Lemmy.world memes community. It’s not Lemmy.ml user’s fault you think they are a general purpose Lemmy instance like Lemmy.world is. That’s your fault and the solution is for you to make an effort to find the spaces that serve your needs not to pick random spaces and tell them they are doing it wrong for not alligning to your incorrect expectations.
Sounds like most instances need to defederate from lemmy.ml then. Or I need to make my own instance and defederate.
Depends whether or not you think most instances should take a stance against the far left. Personally I think the fact people treat Lemmy.ml as a generic all purpose sub rather than focusing that effort onto places like lemmy.world or lemm.ee is pretty messy and will only continue to create more and more issues. As for creating your own instance and defederating, why do that rather than just block their communities as a user if you want to avoid communist groups? Presumably there is a reason you wanted to be part of Beehaw?

Thanks for putting it so eloquently.
For example, memes on lemmy.world instead of lemmy.ml
If you want a clearer source of concern, the FBI vets ever video poker device to make sure they are not cheating but voting machine software is somehow proprietary.
I don’t care which side is saying it I’m just tired of it (for the same reason I am tired of advertising)
What, you can’t have your paper thin consumer behaviour challenged huh??? Huh?!?

im not even a conservative but someone post hardcore conservative memes to show the communists why non-stop spamming their ideology is annoying
edit: the responses prove my point
If conservatives were funny we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation, you are right.
Ah yes the opposite of communism is child marriage, lack of reproductive rights, and telling trans-people they don’t exist. Such good meme potential, that’s why truth social is the funniest place on the internet.
/s
It appears you have a paper thin understanding of the world around you. Some conservative meme spam should fix that.
Conservatism isn’t the same thing everywhere. Your post is very American centric.
The OP is literally an American flag colored bald eagle.
OP for me looks like Dale Earnhart
oh yeah, in some places you have progressive conservatives who still want to kill the homeless people but skip out on harming the queer people and ethnic minorities
Please point me to a place where conservatism means something else, thank you
Lemmy.ml is fundamentally a communist community. Leave it and join somewhere like Lemmy.world if you want to be part of a community that doesn’t have a political agenda. This energy you are expanding complaining that a social network isn’t meeting your expectations could be more productively spent just checking which ones do and which ones don’t. You might as well be complaining about all the Star Trek memes on the Star Trek Lemmy instance.
Lemmy.world is not apolitical. They’re zionists. I submit for proof, the post that resulted in my site wide ban:
I think you’re the guy I saw over there rambling on about an unfair moderation action then someone pulled the moderation log and it was for saying something like “you can turn any Jew into a Nazi by giving them some land.”
I guess you’re the guy who pulls words out of context and tweaks them to fit their agenda. My shtick is cuter because it’s based on how nationalism actually works. You realize that the whole reason Jews make an easy scapegoat is that they weren’t tied to land, right? That was the biggest reason Nazis wanted them culled. Turns out, Israel proved them right. You tie a religion to some land and it’s easy to pervert a faith into fascism.
In its majestic equality, the law allows conservatives and communists alike to make posts, get votes, and to cry if nobody clicks it.
Yeah but more importantly, if you go to a website specifically aimed at communists and don’t like all the communism that’s a you problem.
This shit appears on /all, point invalid
What do you mean by /all?
If you mean /all on lemmy.ml, then yeah, it should, it’s what that site is for. If you mean /all on beehaw.org, that is a different /all. You could certainly debate with the beehaw community/admins about whether or not the lemmy.ml memes community belongs there and if the general consensus is that it should stay, you can block the community for yourself. That’s not the same as telling people who are using the community as intended that they are wrong for doing so.
I’ve blocked it now, I didn’t realize I could.
someone post hardcore conservative memes
It’s nice to have something to point and laugh at sometimes
Please no.
Do you want people to stop coming here? Because this is how you can get people to stop coming here.
Why do you come here if not to see other people’s opinions?
Stuff that brings me joy. Posting left wing political shit on lemmy is like, the epitome of preaching to the choir. Every time I see some unnecessary political take that everyone here agrees with anyway, like there’s always that one person in any thread that has to bring politics into things and I’m just like nope, I’m out. Got better things to do than have my mood ruined by thinking about the worst parts of life. Its like you people are intentionally trying to make everyone miserable.
Yes, 1000%. This is exactly how I feel about this stuff.
We’re here to escape from the world to some extent, not constantly be reminded about it, specifically the worst parts
Oh yeah, I’m sure these political memes are making some very deep points and are gonna change the minds of alllll those staunch MAGAs who are obviously all over Lemmy.
Imao!!! This is so fucking true.
Stop posting memes with color blue!
Yet, your avatar has the color blue. Curious.
Maybe we were the memes all along.
lol I just found out that I can block users
“You don’t get snakes from chicken eggs”
Oh the irony.
Nah but this is all Lemmy is at this point. That sucks. We need more than this.
It’s ok that this has a place here. But we need more than this.
Want some hard truths? Blinders off, reddit is still a much better place for content than Lemmy.
Honestly I’m getting tired of it.
Edit - I feel the need to say that there is actually one consistent thing on Lemmy that is fantastic - rpgmemes, specifically the ongoing series about a goblin high priestess playing dnd.
