Political Memes
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

'Cause you don't need to find

'Cause it's everywhere."
While staying informed and active is important, it's also important to remember that you aren't a hero, you should not be expected to be one, and that it is not moral or reasonable to expect average folk to be heroes out of nowhere.
Take care of yourself. You're worth much more as one sane soul in an insane world, than you are dead or functionally disabled by taking on the burdens of the whole fucked-up world.
