We need to just start shitposting in every community, because everything is shitpost, and to deny that is to deny life. When you wake up in the morning, that’s shitpost. When you drink a cup of coffee, that’s shitpost. Drive to work, shitpost. It’s all shitpost, and so I think all we can do is shitpost everywhere.
Everything is politics. Saying “no politics” is politics. The unwillingness to understand this is arguably a huge part of the problem, particularly in democratic systems. Every breath you take from the moment you are born until the moment you die is both a function of, and contributes towards a political zeitgeist which spans centuries in both directions. At best, an individual’s attempt at “avoiding” politics merely cedes a portion of their own agency to others, which is again, a political act.
Lovely rhetoric there, but I regularly read newspapers, so I am “avoiding” nothing. It is just nice to have spaces which are about something other than politics.
Only through apathy. If the mods did their fucking jobs and actually made a rule against political posts, and then enforced that rule, we wouldn’t have this problem.
Bullshit. Fucking bullshit. A genuine shitpost has no agenda other than silly humor. You don’t know what a shitpost is any more than these useless mods.
How is this a shitpost? Politicalmemes exists.

All communities become politics communities over time…

Excellent way to put it. I vote for @socsa to represent me on lemmy.
Just to be clear, are you calling for all communities to become politics communities, so that there are no spaces about anything else?
I listen to music with no lyrics, and I make some of my own. What’s the politics in that? I build Lego with my kid. I eat a sandwich for lunch.

Why should they?
Every shitpost is a political post. Tell me why you feel this is more political than the post about global corporation KFC’s rubber nuggets.

Who the fuck has “no agenda”? I’d like to meet this fully ass fictional person.

This poster posts actual shitposts. I only had to scroll through this broken comm for 5 fucking seconds to find an actual shitpost with no agenda.
Idk if that’s a shitpost as much as its kind of absurdist humor.
This was the best shitpost we’ve had in some time and it has a clear agenda:

A genuine shitpost is an attempt at trolling. Ergo, all politics are genuinely shitposts.
