I totally agree and I find it weird that some people (very loudly) don't. You can make a community for it, but right now this one is the largest general community for people who just want to laugh and politics sometimes can make me cry.
Yes, I wouldn't care if it was occasionally (1/20 or 1/30), but it's more like 1/3 and always the same sub narratives and the same people joining in with their pre-written comments they already used in 5 memes or so. And I don't want to tackle someone specifically as I have seen various examples on all political sides.
And it's not that I'm apolitical. I just don't think I need to convince anyone that my personal beliefs are the only correct ones out there. Our fundamental views and beliefs are being shaped by our environment and our personal experiences alongside many other factors. You may have certainly had other experiences in life than me and that's perfectly fine.
Sometimes when seeing a political comment I'm thinking about only replying "Cool ๐" regardless of whether I agree or not... Better than writing half an essay wasting another hour of valuable life time for literally nothing.
I love this take. I feel very similarly and understand that everyone has their own reasons for their political beliefs. But at the end of the day, politics are usually just depressing and I just wana laugh at some funny, non-policical memes.
Thanks for the compliment kind Lemming :D
