    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.

          There’s no point arguing with you since you can’t understand the basic concept of what the point of a meme is nor can you read what I previously wrote.

              What? This is a community for memes. Political debate isn’t memes. Simple as that.

                  I get what you mean, even thought I don’t entirely agree.

                  If you go to extremes, everything can be political. That’s not the reality more often than not. Also, I don’t mind politics, and I enjoy different opinions. However, I don’t think memes where the point is clearly to annoy or trigger any political party or political movement belong here though.

                  In sum, I respect and appreciate any and all political opinions, on political centric communities. I just want to look at stupid memes and unwind, I don’t want to see the the usual left/right/capitalist/socialist/communist arguments.

        No you have to be missing a brain to think monopolies don’t have anything to do with politics.

        Stealing a line from something I saw earlier. If you don’t like the memes just ignore them like you do the homeless people you walk by, non-politically.

          I never said they don’t have anything to do with politics you dumbfuck. Re-read my post.

            Ok I re read the part where you said

            1. Not political

            And interpreted that to mean you didn’t think it was political.

            If that wasn’t the intent you should work on communicating more clearly, or not being mad when people correctly read what you posted.

              Oh god. How thick can you be? I meant the MEME isn’t political. Never said anything about Microsoft or other big companies.

              You did not read correctly, indeed. The question was if the meme was political, not Microsoft.

                Oh god. How thick can you be? You did not read correctly, indeed. The question was if the meme was political. And it clearly is, since it references political entities and distributes the ideology of whoever is OP of the meme to a bunch of unsuspecting lurkers that falsely assume it’s non-political. Also the fact that you disagree about what is and what isn’t political makes it political

                  You guys are making it political.

                  Remove the hexbear instance and you’ll see that most of the comments agree on what is and isn’t politics, even thought their feelings towards X and Y political party differ. It’s seems it’s just you guys creating a shit storm of nonsense and everybody else kinda getting along despite their differences.

        When you get to the size of a monopoly like that, you operate on such a massive scale that your very existence as a company, and the actions required to grow and sustain it, is orders of magnitude more politcal than say, the small-scale relationship between a restaurant owner and their employees, which is also inherently politcal.

          Again, I’m not saying you guys are wrong. What I’m saying is that the point of the meme is NOT political in nature.
