    im not even a conservative but someone post hardcore conservative memes to show the communists why non-stop spamming their ideology is annoying

    edit: the responses prove my point

      If conservatives were funny we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation, you are right.

    That smuglord in a recent thread that said “programming.dev doesn’t allow politics” certainly allows programming.dev’s nonpolitical politics to ooze anywhere I can see a programming.dev user address of origin. smuglord

        I never got the complaints about that. It’s not inherently bad to have one thing exert complete control over another thing… the problem is when you start doing it to people

          I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with a problem with the computing concept itself, they have a problem with the unnecessarily unpleasant and offensive nomenclature. There’s lots of ways to express a leader/follower dynamic that’s intuitively understandable. Hell, call them Dom/Sub drives if you want to.

          There’s just no good reason to invoke historical attrocity that’s still ongoing to describe a concept like this.

            Ok fair point and that is a really funny idea. But afaict dom/sub dynamics aren’t complete control and it would be pretty dangerous if they were

      Exactly. We complainers aren’t saying they can’t post about politics, just requesting they post their political memes in the designated political meme space.

      EDIT: A message to people from Hexbear

      Thank you for your input, but I stopped responding to arguments here at least 24 hours ago because I can’t juggle that many conversations at once. I would ask that you respect that and not continue to argue with me about what is and isn’t political, because I’m just going to ignore it anyways. Thank you.

          In this context, it’s matters related to government, politicians, or the general culture of a country, in which there are two or more major camps of conflicting opinions, where a good deal of people in one or more of those camps view the other camp as evil because of their view.

          If the post is in a community where only one of the camps is significantly present, but the post is attacking the other camp, it is still political.

          Why do you ask? Are you hoping to expose some inconsistency in my definition? Maybe use it to call something I like political with the expectation that I’ll disagree with you? Or were you expecting my definition to be biased, calling something political that shouldn’t be, so that you could expose me as a moustache-twirling villain?

            You’re pretty upset that I asked a question aren’t you? I wonder why that is.

            Government and politicians I think are pretty self explanatory and I would agree those are inherently political, no argument there.

            What do you think is part of a general culture of a country, or not? How would you define culture that has conflicting opinions? Is it solely up to your discretion, or would you agree that if anyone has any disagreement about a meme that would make it automatically political?

            Is this one political because it references the FBI, a governmental organization? https://startrek.website/post/1847371 I would argue that it is political.

            Is this one political because it references culture related to advertising in capitalism? I would think everyone should agree that any reference to or commentary of an economic system is inherently political because of course economic systems are controversial. I don’t see how anyone could argue that references to a combination of two major brands isn’t a commentary on marketing: https://programming.dev/post/3200916

            I mean this one references politics so it’s clearly political right? https://lemm.ee/post/8502748

            I’m just curious about what you and others think is political versus not. You can’t have a discussion about if something should or should not be allowed if you can’t clearly define the boundaries of that thing. I find the discussion around what is and isn’t politics to be an interesting one, that’s all.

              I think can answer the memes questions for you.

              1. Non political
              2. Non political
              3. I guess it could be considered political in a way, but it doesn’t target a specific party or opinion so I’d let it through.

                Lmao. The FBI: famously non-political government organization that murders activists as easily as one can breath air.

                And Microsoft: famously non-political company that bribes lobbies the u.s government constantly to gain monopoly over their market, works hand-in-hand with federal agencies to monitor system users, and regularly influences city, state, and national politics in the pursuit of subsidies of the American worker in order to further boost their already gross profit margins.

                  I’m not disagreeing that some companies can have a political impact on the world.

                  Those memes in particular, aren’t focused on the political aspects. You have to be missing a brain in order to miss the point there.

      Sounding an awful lot like Gamers.

      Two genders, male and political.

      Two races, white and political.

      Three sexual orientations, straight, hot lesbians, and political.

        Gundam: the Witch From Mercury went from hot lesbians to political lesbians when they showed no-room-for-theoretical-male-senpai commitment and exchange of friendship rings! wojak-nooo
