      I do indeed! But what is a political meme, if not a shitpost?

        I understand that your American politics are shit. But that doesn’t mean they belong in shitposting.

        We’re here to have a fun time posting shit. Not to turn yet an other community into a complain sub for Americans.

        Some of us are getting tired of being overwhelmed by a politics that we don’t have a say in since it is on the other side of the fucking planet.

          Simply mentioning ICE doesn’t make it political. By that logic, any mentioning of anything related to any country, any type of police, any type of military would be ‘political’ and I’ve never seen anyone complain about that

            It’s internal US political news, why do you think anyone outside of your country cares about your immigration officers and how they’re dealing with immigrants within America?

            By that logic, any mentioning of anything related to any country, any type of police, any type of military would be ‘political’

            Yes?

            and I’ve never seen anyone complain about that

            Because nobody else posts about their police force in a shitpost community and gets 1k+ upvotes for it

            Is this also not political?

              Doesn’t seem like it’s trying to sell me on Trump or Obama or Putin or Israel or anything. Just because a shitpost mentions current news doesn’t mean it’s automatically bad political. Seems to me like if you just don’t want to see anything about other countries, you should just find some communities specific to your own
