Very cool how neoliberals and libertarians are being annoying weirdos and nonchalantly defending Joe Biden as he continues to support the Palestinian genocide

What I hate is when politically driven assholes decide to post their political opinions in a community that’s about shitposting and memes to lighten the fucking mood out of the whole god damn infinite doomscrolling we go through every day.
Go post your political crap somewhere else.
I also stand with Palestine. That’s not the point. It’s that you wrote with your post that bugs me.
196 has always and will always be political. It’s leftist shitposting, not just shitposting
For every time someone says this, I vow to make 5 more politically charged posts

Even earlier, the original r/195 was left leaning.
Examples from top of all time:
Pro-socialist mockery of liberals
Cop hatred
Queerposting
Transposting before it was cool
Anti-capitalism
There was a lot more of this. Though nowadays, especially after the disaster, r/196 has lost its leftist edge. There aren’t as many posts about world events as there used to be. Or about the people.
196 stands with Palestine
Yeah so do I. That’s not the point. It’s the whole comment that OP put with the picture that bugs me.
The picture is a pinned political statement in 196. 196 is inherently political because leftists (especially LGBTQ+) are forced to be political, often to not be killed. Apartment 196 is not exclusively about shitposting, it’s just that the community that lives in 196 seems to be very good at it
Alright then. I was mistaken. My apologies.
Hear hear!
IDGAF if you’re left, right, center, up, or down; go talk about that shit in the political communities. Or actually be proactive and do something instead of bitching at each other all the fucking time in every corner of the net.
Naw this is classic 196 shit
except this is a prominently queer, and consequently predominantly leftist community (since large parts of the right want us dead). being apathetic to politics is a luxury marginalized people don’t have, and that helps build empathy towards other oppressed groups
I’m predominantly queer, too. You don’t have to be apathetic about it; just keep it separated from the non-political stuff. And I’m not necessarily talking strictly about this community, but in general I see politics get brought up everywhere, often times in very inappropriate places and it just turns into a flamewar with the bulk of the discussion getting nuked when people start crossing the line and saying shit that’s ban worthy.
I eat ass
