You know, i do actually very often concur with these memes, like the ones saying billionaires are leaches on society and governments are often used as a weapon to protect the ruling classes.

But man… when i come to lemmy i kinda want to only see memes, and funny stuff… even communities that are not niches to political content get political way too often. Like gotdammit, when i get to c/comics i just want to see funny drawings, i’m way too tired to want to see your lame class war comic…

Is that a feeling i’m the only one feeling?

edit: i think what makes it worse is that very often they’re not even funny, just literal propaganda, “good guy propaganda”, maybe, but still propaganda

    My opinion:

    I just wish someone would stop with all those leftist memes like ‘future of humanity under socialism vs. capitalism’ because it’s just, in a crude manner, cringe. They’re not very unique, and fail to underline even the basic differences between the two ideologies.

    Capitalism is not understood by everyone here, and I feel like those making this stuff are extremely young, have yet to understand what the world offers.

    It’s clear that socialism does have its merits but making memes simply mocking capitalism without showing crude memes… not worth it.

    I just downvote those kind of posts, they’re awfully low quality and low effort.
