      politics is reality and you just want fantasy… but if you keep reading fantasy, you’ll eventually notice something horrible about it. Spoiler alert: its politics

        Damn, ok, relax… It’s like you guys are on cocaine or something and I accidentally brought up politics. I meant that Lemmy is too political to be dumb about memes. That’s it… Chill.

          Absurdist humor has a long history of being political. Shitposting is how disenfranchised young generations process and cope with societal alienation.

          The underlying Chad Farquaad is funny because it is a commentary on beauty standards. And regular Farquaad is funny because of Shrek’s satirical and political nature (ESPECIALLY Farquaad and his kingdom which both overtly represent Disney Corporation and capitalism).
          These underlying, inherently politically-laden factors, are core to the shitpost’s comedic value.
