I would rather see a thousand corn memes than one meme about US politics

Some people’s eyes think “in news” means politics.

In news for what? He didn’t win a song contest. The only reason anyone recognizes him is because he briefly became the face of class warfare. You know, completely apolitical stuff

As everyone knows the class struggle is only in America.

It’s an American guy who is being tried in America for killing an American health insurance ceo, which is a thing that’s a problem particularly in America

And as we all know, things that happen in America stay in America. There’s never any blowback for the rest of the world.

Are we seriously arguing if American politics count as American politics or world politics??

yet hyper-nationalism is a growing worldwide political issue, so you find yourself in a catch 22 once you try and exclude certain events based on geographical boundaries, as this would certainly be playing into the further politicization of nationalism as a measure of cultural identity, when you begin filtering towards or away from a particular group. Thankfully we have algorithms to do most of the work for us these days. Curating has never been easier…

Is this bait? Am I being had here? Is this going in a screenshot?

Just in case you’re serious, I’m not the person who complained about politics being present. I’m just baffled that they were getting piled on because people either think or pretend to think that Luigi isn’t a political figure from the US.

It is an insane statement to say excluding US events feeds into hyper nationalism. The daily domestic news cycle of the US has no effect on the lives of most people in the world. This has nothing to do with nationalism, it’s just geography. And Americans aren’t some oppressed minority that need media exposure. Not to forget that this is a meme about something everyone already heard about, not a news story about a new thing. Being reminded of US politics in random memes simply has no benefit to anyone.

It’s fine if you like seeing memes featuring US politics. You can argue that. You don’t have to launder an opinion into a objective fact to do so.
