It’s called horrormirth, and it’s a Discordian tradition.

• fascism is on the rise across the world

• Climate change has finally caught up with us in a big way with politicians still doing almost nothing to stop it or even slow it down

• peaceful protesters are being labeled as terrorists and sometimes murdered while ACTUAL terrorists are protected by cops and half of the ruling elite

• income and wealth inequality and thus poverty are worse than they have been since the great depression and it’s only getting worse faster and faster

• the financial elite and their imitators are profiteering away people’s ability to survive and people are blaming it on the government spending money to help keep the victims of said profiteering alive

• there’s a war in Europe where the rich countries care about it and the political alliance that the aggressor belongs to has just expanded to consist of countries containing half of the people in the world

• the least bad realistic option for US President is an octogenarian who entered politics before the invention of the pocket calculator and thinks the solution to police brutality is to throw money at cops

• the other realistic option is the career criminal grifter leader of a Christofascist cult, who is also a malignant narcissist, a sociopath and as bright as Greenland in December

This isn’t regular society, this is multiple crises piled on top of each other and about to explode into even worse catastrophe.

I hear the view from orbit is rather pretty. Is Hadfield there?

I’ll get the lube

Nah I’m just heckling.

One can perform meme-ception but at a great risk. If you go too far into the meme-hole, you could disappear up there forever. At that point, your only hope of return is a new social media platform where retreading old memes becomes suddenly cool again, for a moment.

I’m from the UK, our politics is bad enough without throwing US in there

We have our own issues to solve first and foremost . I live in a major Canadian city and I’ve never seen maga people, I honestly blame those people watching too much American politics in the first place.

I somewhat agree, but for my own mental health I’ve had to try and avoid it if I can. I still stay informed, I just don’t want US politics in every area of my life. I probably agree with most people on this site politically, I just don’t want to be so involved in that mind space all the time.

It also feels very US-defaultism to put US memes here all the time. Sure, most people here are probably American, but not everyone is.

I find it quite difficult to block only US politics due to how it’s the “default” so people rarely specify it’s the US. It also just tends to be constant work as new scandals and stuff pop up.

If anyone has some good filters please let me know.

Honestly the Germans have been killing it with content creation.

Y’know I’m a patriot and all, but I wish we didn’t spend so much of our national budget on the Meme Force. Let’s stop shipping our memes overseas and start meming in our local communities

Can’t be bothered to

A message to people from Hexbear

Not from Hexbear, do I get to respond?

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.

I think I can figure out where “DAE X political party bad?!?!?!?” should be

Maybe we were the memes all along.

Lemmy.world is not apolitical. They’re zionists. I submit for proof, the post that resulted in my site wide ban:

Who says leftists bad?

Is this an undercover hexbear again 😉 I wont tell i promise.
