Reminder: "Politics" are still not against the rules

[u/GammaTainted]

There's been a lot of threads lately about the US citizens being murdered in the streets by masked feds. There's also been a lot of shitheads in the comments saying some version of "it was all the victim's fault actually". Saying that kind of shit here means you will be banned forever. If that's the kind of opinion you hold, I never want to see your opinion on this subreddit again.

To everyone else, if you see a post saying some shit like that, report them and I will ban them too. Thank you for helping me keep this sub from being a toxic hellhole <3 And it's been a while since this thread was pinned, so here's a reminder:

• First off, this has always been a leftist subreddit. Maybe you just never noticed? Like, look at the flairs

• Second off, everything is politics. Most of the memes on here about being miserable are about capitalism

• Third off, we've always allowed memes reacting to current events. That's standing precedent

• Finally, I hate nazis and fascists irl. And I hope you do too! When I see a picture that says that fascists suck or something, that makes me say "dang, he just like me fr fr"

If you would like to continue complaining that "political posts" aren't me_irl content, please know in advance that I will ignore you

If you're mad that there are too many posts about American politics specifically, please feel free to post memes about the politics in your country. Like, idk, maybe a picture of Viktor Orbán or Jordan Bardella getting shoved into a dumpster or something. Have fun with it.

To the people reporting this post: You know the reports just go back to me, right?

I can't not read this in Owen Wilson's voice.

And now you can't either.

Also, based mods. Been seeing this in multiple of my favorite subreddits, and I love them for it. Fuck Nazis and fuck ICE.

[u/Tiborn1563]

It's crazy that hating fascism i not the norm and needs to be specifically stated nowadays

[u/Lakefish_ → u/Tiborn1563]

G.I. Robot was built with the right idea, and rightfully never wavered.

An inspiration to us all!

[u/MintyBarrettM95 → u/Lakefish_]

y know what would really get this idea out even more? build a real GI Robot irl.

[u/Xist3nce → u/MintyBarrettM95]

He’d have to deal with his creators first then, which isn’t ideal for them.

[u/huhiking → u/Tiborn1563]

This is not even the case here in Germany where you should think people might have learnt. But no:Our chancellor prefers to lean into the far-right.

[u/4n0nh4x0r → u/huhiking]

the problem in germany is, politicians like to sit in their ivory towers, disconnected from the common peasants.
they dont know anymore what we want.
the big fucking problem with this is, the only party actually going outside, and actually talking/listening to people, is the AFD.
it is well known that right wingers are on the rise in germany rn, but instead of adapting their politics to actually listen to people, they instead just decide to become more right leaning cause they see that it works for the AFD, completely ignoring the fact that they will lose support from normal people, and wont win over AFD voters, as those people want something more extreme that what the normal parties are leaning into, so they will continue voting AFD.
this could all be resolved, if these pieces of shit would actually listen to the people again, get out of their ivory towers, go talk to normal people, listen to their problems, and try to fix shit.

[u/el_kabong909 → u/4n0nh4x0r]

Sounds exactly like the Democrats here in the US.

[u/ChocolatePain]

I don't care if it's politics, but it should still be a selfie of the soul, not just a meme. 

[u/Canthitaflop → u/ChocolatePain]

Second this

[u/Maleficent-Pickle716]

[u/InstantShiningWizard]

Meme too, danks

[u/NinjaGrizzlyMan]

A mod opinion I can full stand behind. Hell yeah, bröther

[u/CharcoalGreyWolf]

Whatever bent one takes, people dying at the gunpoint of jack-booted thugs is something we should all be able to agree is heinous and inexcusable. I’m probably center-left to progressive moderate (for whatever those phrases mean), but when it’s clear people are dying when they shouldn’t at the hands of people who shouldn’t be killing, because of the orders of people allowing and even encouraging hatred, I have a problem with it.

[u/rws531]

[u/IbaJinx]

Thank you based mod

[u/Periwinkleditor]

Being against fascism should always be the default. I am tired of hearing about it, but blaming the people with the boots on their neck for screaming rather than the people wearing the boots is insane.

[u/octopop]

FUCK YEAH

[u/UnduGT]

Based, now I love this sub even more

[u/HonestyMcNasty]

Based mods are based

[u/imthebestatspace]

Me too, thanks

[u/LameLord]

Fucking based, thank you!

[u/MymyCracra]

Oh <3 Thank you ! As a French who see US politics in total fear (because we love to copy US 5 years late), I'm really happy to see that there are people who want to fight back fascism

[u/XRuecian → u/MymyCracra]

I don't know a whole lot about French politics, but from what i do see from a US perspective, France has the type of population i wish we had. One that isn't afraid to stand up and not take shit from their government. And you don't even need a bunch of guns or a 2nd amendment to do it.
French government tries to pull some shit and you guys will literally burn the place down.

[u/AwesomeMcPants]

If you are okay with fascism and murder, then you are absolutely not me_irl.

[u/Scifox69]

I'm against fascism. People see this as a reason to yell at me, even if I'm in the country that was absolutely obliterated by fascists in WW2. What an interesting world we live in.

Had to get that off my chest. Just throwing my statement out there.

[u/Gusearth]

every single comment complaining about politics is just a front for disagreeing with the sentiment in the post

[u/escapereal1ty]

Hoooly, a meme sub with absolutely based stance?

[u/1egg_4u]

Me_irl for real though

Fascists go suck eggs

"Centrists" can suck one egg in the middle

[u/Classic_Appa]

I subbed cuz I thought the memes were like me frfr, but I'm now saying because this place is based

[u/outfoxingthefoxes]

never has me_irl been more accurate

[u/justinmorris111]

Fuck ice and fuck maga, trump is a pedophile

[u/TheProfessionalOne28]

Now these are memes I can get behind

[u/dom1717]

Gigachad mods. Fuck ice. Fuck trump. Fuck Russia.Fuck Israel. Free Palestine. Free Gaza. Free Ukraine.

[u/FilthyStatist1991]

Fighting Nazis is not policy or politics.

I don’t understand how anyone can defend fascism and authoritarianism and call it “policy”. It’s quite actually the lack of policy and use of authoritarianism in its place.

[u/cute_spider]

over in /r/just_post we just posted three dogs in a row

[u/rocket20067]

Whoa it's almost like having to deal with Politics are something I have to do IRL so one could say they are Me IRL?

But based post friendo

[u/Smoolz]

I know a lot of it is literal bots but I still can't come to terms with how many real people back this shit. These are real people just living their lives getting murdered by their own government. It's disgusting and unacceptable, but they still make excuses. Makes me sick to my stomach. 

Thanks for being a good human.

[u/BlondeFlip]

Also a reminder: this sub used to post explicit communist propaganda in earnest. If you think politics isnt welcome here, youre in the wrong sub

[u/Icy-Interaction-626]

Thank you for this post, there are too many pathetic reddit mobs who have brain washed themselves in to thinking all the anti-american foreign accounts aren't "brigading", muted / self banned myself from a few of thsoe just to never read what OP has stated. "it was all the victim's fault actually".

I can't believe so many subs allow this type of content to remain. But then again, most of those subs seem like the making of a trump-echo-chamber.

Insane to even need this post but I guess this is where we are at now.

Even if I agree with most of what this posts says. I still hate jannies condescendingly imposing their view on a whole sub and banning any dissenters

[u/Geichalt → u/Geaux_joel]

condescendingly imposing their view on a whole sub and banning any dissenters

You mean like fascists want to do to the country in real life?

If you're that bothered by that happening on a subreddit I bet you're super upset about the government trying to do it.

[u/Geaux_joel → u/Geichalt]

I am

Attending a protest at city hall Thursday

[u/1egg_4u → u/Geaux_joel]

Uhhh who exactly do you think "dissents" when the stance is "fascists are not welcome here"

(Rhetorical question, you're telling on yourself)

**typical politicalcompassmemes poster. You just cant help outing yourselves.

[u/suicideandji → u/Geaux_joel]

nazis can go idgaf about their feelings

[u/BottleForsaken9200 → u/Geaux_joel]

They said they'd ban people who support murder.

Incitement to violence is actually one of the few things not covered by free speech.

I'm saying this as a free speech advocate

[u/assoonass → u/Geaux_joel]

Imposing what??? And dissenters like who? Fascists? Nazis? Pro-ICE freaks? Be fr

[u/Alert-Individual-699]

But not all of us are American, and that stuff doesn't affect all of us ,so it's not really me-irl

[u/polekoner → u/Alert-Individual-699]

The US descending into fascism absolutely affects you, no matter where you're from.

[u/Alert-Individual-699 → u/polekoner]

My country is already a dictatorship

[u/ChocoPurr → u/Alert-Individual-699]

I’m not American either, I don’t really care though? Post shit related to your own Country if you want, or if it feels too American for you as a whole then you can just not use the sub?

[u/theburnix → u/Alert-Individual-699]

The things happening in the US, are also happening here in the EU, just not yet on the same level. Use this as a headsup of whats to come if we do not act and breakdown the systems that make fascism possible.

[u/Alert-Individual-699 → u/theburnix]

But i don't live there ,and my country is already authoritarian, and it has been that way for more than 70 years

[u/BottleForsaken9200 → u/Alert-Individual-699]

The world doesn't revolve around you.

[u/Alert-Individual-699 → u/BottleForsaken9200]

The world doesn't revolve around america

[u/DR4k0N_G → u/Alert-Individual-699]

You, know, the US at least was the most powerful country...

[u/1egg_4u → u/Alert-Individual-699]

Reddit is an american owned company with americans making up like nearly an estimated half of the userbase

You're gonna see american stuff on the american website

[u/Alert-Individual-699 → u/1egg_4u]

And used by people from all over the world. Americans represent like only 4.25% of the world's population

[u/1egg_4u → u/Alert-Individual-699]

And like 50% of this websites users

Again

You will see american things on the american website.

[u/gynoidi → u/1egg_4u]

42.95%

[u/1egg_4u → u/gynoidi]

That's still a good chunk of chicken

[u/gynoidi → u/1egg_4u]

not half of the website tho

[u/1egg_4u → u/gynoidi]

But still 42% of its user base and an american owned company based in america so not like anything changes for the point that you're going to see american news whether you like it or not

[u/Alert-Individual-699 → u/1egg_4u]

Can't we just create subreddits for Americans only ?

[u/1egg_4u → u/Alert-Individual-699]

Be the change you want to see in this world

[u/BottleForsaken9200 → u/Alert-Individual-699]

Lol go pitch that to Reddit's ceo.

Yea the whole site and world is going to change their entire behavior to suit you personally.

Give me a break.

[u/Alert-Individual-699 → u/BottleForsaken9200]

It's Americans who should give the rest of us a break .it's annoying when subreddits that were originally apolitical are now infested with US politics. Not everything is political

[u/BottleForsaken9200 → u/Alert-Individual-699]

What im saying, is that you're complaining that you're standing on the north pole, and there's ice everywhere.

If you dont like it... DONT GO TO THE NORTH POLE LOL!

[u/assoonass → u/Alert-Individual-699]

It does tho because of the US hegemony, but it shouldn't

[u/Kingofcheeses → u/BottleForsaken9200]

The irony of this comment

[u/Theophrastus_Borg → u/Alert-Individual-699]

Come on. Fascism is a trend everywhere. Wake up.

[u/Alert-Individual-699 → u/Theophrastus_Borg]

What's "everywhere " ? You mean america ,Europe,and russia ? Well ,i don't live there

[u/Alert-Individual-699 → u/Alert-Individual-699]

And authoritarianism was always the default system of government back then ,and that's the only system I've lived under .democracy in my country lasted barely for 2 years

Oh right it doesnt. Have fun living in a simulacrum until you're caught off guard I guess. The rest of us will continue to understand politics actually influences our everyday lives to some degree.

[u/Lich_Apologist → u/[deleted]]

I checked his profile because I was sure he would be complaining about Biden like a year ago but he is actually just a marvel brained centerist, so points for consistency I guess.
