I don't mind political memes, we're adults and politics plays an important part of our lives, satire on politics is a welcome part of life, BUT... why must they all be foreign memes from the Americas?

We should have a mix of political memes from all around the globe! Gods knows, Sunak or Braverman are deserving of memery.... :-P

I'm not smort enough to make memes :-(

Because y’all aren’t making other memes lol

Well except the Germans. I see a lot of German memes on Kbin lol

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Honestly the Germans have been killing it with content creation.

Considering that the Germans still upload the memes using fax, it's impressive that they are the biggest and loudest meme creators here in Europe.

I have half a mind to learn German just so I can more easily understand the memes lol

I don’t understand a lick of German, but I probably look at 50% of the stuff they put up. It’s interesting seeing memes from other cultures.

I just wish I could read. Do the comments translate?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Honestly, I just enjoy looking at the images and looking for patterns. It’s not like I sit there doing it for hours. If I see one that looks like it could be funny, I’ll look at it for 20 or 30 seconds and see what I can divine lol

All of this is to say I don’t translate anything and often have literally no idea what is being said

We have the best memes. We are a meme force to be reckoned with.

Also, we're desperate for some mirth to lighten the burden of how horrible some of our politicians are.

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.

We could fund universal healthcare and free university for every American if we cut out Meme Force budget by just 10%, but then China's Meme Force would be larger than the US and we can't have that

Americans must be better posters than EUers. Step up your game Europe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Can't be bothered to

[–] PP_BOY_ 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll never understand people who say this stuff. Like, make your own? Ask other Europeans to make them? What are we supposed to do, NOT post, because the minority of users don't feel like their relevant?
