      you know a meme is just anything that gets shared, duplicated, replicated, or repeated, right? calling things memes is a meme. society is a meme. civilization is a meme. Dee’s Nuts being overly salted is a meme

        I know that, but since internet meme became I thing it has gained a second definition as a type of joke, which is the meaning intended in the names of meme communities. there are places for politics (including political memes) and this is not one of them.

          Whether this fits your definition of a meme or not, this is the kind of thing that needs to be shared as widely as possible.

          The world needs this kind of support from as many people as possible right now.

            is it really so much to ask to discuss politics on communities that are meant for it? I know it may be hard to understand but some people don’t want to spend every waking moment sorting through other people’s political views (whether they agree or not). let the areas that are for funny shit only be only funny shit, there are places for political statements and this isn’t one of them. honestly at least make the political thing a meme if you’re going to put it in a meme community this post was just a statement.

          as long as there’s no rule against politics (and there isn’t) i don’t think i can bring myself to agree with this stance

          It’s a screen cap from a micro blog in a micro blog comm.

          And just because you don’t find it funny doesn’t mean it isn’t.

            it’s not a meme at all, it’s just a statement. it has to be a microblog meme, not just a microblog.

              Huh, well everyone else here seems to think you’re wrong.

              And this hits a number of things that makes it a meme as others pointed out.

              Have your opinion. You’ve voiced your opinion. I promise to forget all about this exchange if you understand that people are disagreeing with you and are allowed to. Otherwise one of us is going to end up blocking the other after we waste each other’s time.
