There’s a whooshing noise here.
“related to a thing that happened in the news and riffing off the least political aspect of that” isn’t going to read as political to 100% of people. im sorry you felt slighted here but i do totally see the mod’s angle.
That community has no idea what it wants to be. Mostly it just drives people away.
Gandalf did not celebrate Saruman’s death. He still proceeded to depose him, but not in a spirit of celebration.
Many others celebrated though, especially at Sauron’s.
The king of Rohan seem pretty damn happy with it
r/politicalmemes
Its not a “r/” on lemmy, its a “c/”…
ugh, this is mildlyinfuriating
why is it c/ and not just !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world?
c/ is referring to the link
look at the link it shows c/ after your instance’s url
For example: lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy
Ah you’re right sorry force of habit
I would assume they meant they posted on reddit initially - which could also help explain why it was removed 🙃
Nah look at the image, its @lemmy.world
Theres a trash can icon near it, meaning its deleted.
Oh yeah you’re totally right - OP made a typo :P
Ostrichise them!
deleted by creator
its @lemmy.world
So, same thing, basically.
Why are you complaining on Lemmy about what happened to you on Reddit? Are you trying to rally support? Do you want people to feel sorry for you? What’s your goal here? Honestly, I don’t care. I’m just so, so tired of hearing about Reddit on Lemmy.
This ain’t about Reddit.
r/ is the Reddit prefix. How is this NOT about Reddit?
Because the image is pretty clearly @lemmy.world
Ew, a whiner. To the block list with you!
LOTR memes would understand.
.world
He was a father??? Where is that canon?
The orcs he made.
Sauron made the orcs. Saruman made the hyper-orcs apparently.
Yeah the movies are weird
I guess Geppetto was a father too.
Pinocchio literally calls him ‘father.’
I mean if you asked me what Pinocchio’s father’s name was I would have said Geppetto
yep. ton of hyperactive modding on .world
the silver lining is showing everyone what a shit show that server can be, and forcing content to other instances
The political memes community in particular has silly moderation. My post criticizing the billions in dollars being sent in support of genocide got deleted and when I asked for clarification, I got this explanation (and I quote):
You’re blatant accusing political partition being pro genocide.
This is an opinion.
But I know that no one is PRO genocide. Therefore stating it as such is misinformation. It was removed for this reason alone.
agreed, politicalmemes is a zionist hellscape. I’m sure they’re trying to take this place over like they took over reddit.
I know that no one is PRO genocide.
… I don’t know, I think the people committing genocide might be a bit pro genocide… 🤔
But I know that no one is PRO genocide.
I mean I understand wanting to see the world that way but whole entire societies of people can become genocidal. That is precisely what causes the atrocity of genocides like the palestinian genocide in gaza to grow out of control.
Once the centrists in a society accept the rightwing framing of the ideology of genocide they will treat it as the status quo and resist anyone who threatens it. This is what is so fucking terrifying about blind centrism, the substance doesn’t matter at all to the ideology, just tracking the most commonly accepted “facts” which inveitably ends up in centrists bandwagoning behind an authoritarian.
This is the stage of fascism Israel is deep into and the US is not far behind in and it quickly obliterates in you any doubt that people actually can be pro-genocide.
We all have the potential to be, it is our choices and our empathy that give us agency to resist becoming so.

Wtf how could you possibly miss that this is about the CEO ?
They got it, they’re just playing dumb because this is what they want.
Being a CEO isn’t a public office, killing them isn’t a political act.
Thats the dumbest shit i have heard on here.By that logic going to a protest isnt a political act, which it obviously is.Basically anything that affects or targets a political topic is itself a political act. Donating to a party, posting a meme about a politician, writing an article about climate change, and yes killing the leader of a company while clearly targeting them for their decisions that negatively impacted the public and sparking the biggest public discourse about said industry in decades.
I mean
If your protest isn’t about changing laws or regulations, then it’s not political, it’s just a really loud argument between citizens protesting and being protested.
Sometimes politicians will step into labor disputes in an attempt to make a compromise, such as when Pres. Biden made the railworker union’s tentative agreement law despite the objections of many workers (but later got them the sick leave and other requests anyways).
In fact I think you could argue a person subverting the laws and passing their own judgement without any authority is the exact opposite of politics. If everyone did that then politics wouldn’t even exist.
“Murder your enemies” can be a political philosophy. Just not a legal one.
everything is political
If you’re wrong, would you be politically incorrect?
Maybe. But not with Bill Maher, okay?
Deal and agreed.
It’s a satire site like The Onion so makes sense.
