"Why do people want to talk about stuff that affects their daily lives so damn much???"

Lemmy has some very aggressive communists.

I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the crazy right wingers though.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (49 children)

thinkin-lenin i wonder if maybe not having right wingers has something to do with having aggressive communists to run hem off.

No. It must be lib magic

Almost like the very aggressive communists have a nose for right wing nut jobs and relentlessly hound them until they log out

Need a politics-free safe space? It's called stop supporting people who want me dead.

Like I genuinely get mad when people say stuff like "I don't want politics in my x" or whatever, because YEAH. ME FUCKING TOO. Do you know how much I would love not feeling on the defensive at all times due to the pending casual extermination of people like me that you are either supporting or ignoring?????? If all the libs wanted me to be a lib like them they could have simply not made me life hell.

I'm fine with politics on the internet, but why spam it on a memes community...

I'm getting the impression from Lemmy that there's an overrepresentation of the particular demographic of comfortable middle-aged bookish software engineers who live in the US or Canada.

Now this is a post I can get behind.

Take a hike, hug a tree, run your fingers through blades of grass, stare at nature and take it in.

Maybe even get a cheeky grill in while you're at it grillman

Alright so what you need is 3 large portobello mushrooms, ¼ cup canola oil (or oil of your choice), ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons chopped onion, and 4 minced cloves garlic.

First Clean the mushrooms; remove stems, reserving them for another use. Place mushroom caps gill-side up in a shallow dish.

Then Combine oil, balsamic vinegar, onion, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour mixture evenly over mushroom caps; let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

Go and Preheat the grill to medium-high heat; grease the grate.

Lastly, Grill those suckers over the hot grill until caramelized and tender, about 5 minutes per side; serve warm.

If I wasn't a slave constantly in fear of malnourishment, illness, homelessness, police violence, jail and/or pain, I might not care so much.

Just work harder, plebe. Everything is working just fine (for me)

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago

Lies! I went outside and I saw a poster about CLIMATE CHANGE, and then I turned the corner and heard a family complaining about minimum wage being too low! So unfair, I just want to be ignorant of other people's suffering.

Also every person who bitches about safe spaces: "ban dresses on men because it makes me feel funny"

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The people that whine about safe spaces tend to have safe spaces of their own, and glaringly so, like "free speech" forums that ban people for opposing nazi shit.

Their politics aren't politics. Their politics are just the default, common sense, or invisible because they only get mad if they notice the politics.

My main problem is that most of the memes aren't even funny.

Make memes that are funny and then we can talk

I'm genuinely curious what's the difference between talking about our lives and politics?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Talking about inconveniences and commiserating with others is just life. Acknowledging systemic issues may be the source of your misfortune is politics.

And the other two thirds are politics posts.

You don't have to make everything political. It's okay just to have fun and like things.
