When someone replies to this and says 'stop making everything political' they mean to tell you to stop challenging the status quo

My opinion:

I think this community should ban political memes, and instead have another community for only political memes. I'm from Costa Rica and I don't care about the USA politics or stuff

No, that's not what they mean.

Yeah for example I'm just about to go hit up a political barbecue and maybe bring some political jalapeno poppers because my political friend likes spicy political food. Then maybe we'll play some political games or something else political idk I'm kind of politically tired so maybe I'll make up a political excuse and politically ditch early. Sometimes I like to be politically alone and read a political book or do a political puzzle

I reject this! This sounds edgy but muddies the water and distracts as to recognize what politics is. Politics is everything regarding decision-making in groups! not more not less. Recognize when that's the case and fight!

Jesus christ you're insufferable.

Isn't there literally a community called politicalmemes because people wanted to sort these into another place?

At this point you're not even posting to be funny, you're just posting to be annoying.

"Everything is political" shares the same vibes:

Even chosen linux distro?

Damn

Bad meme and bad opinion.

I was once up in some reddit thread during the George Floyd protests/defunding the police, and some dipshit had the lack of education to earnestly say "since when is the police a political issue?"

My dude. They share a the same root word.

literally everything is politics

how is nitrogen atom nr. 14729583929174 political?

While I do agree that most things in life are somehow connected to politics and that it needs to be discussed, when I come somewhere, in real life or online, and I want to chill out, I really don't want to hear about it. Political communities exist, even here on Lemmy. Let's keep politics out of cooking, meme, and other not politically oriented communities please :)

I once got warned in a discord server for being political. Brought up that everything was politics and they backed off.

About a week later I got hints that they might be a bit of a nazi bar which was confirmed when I called it out.

Nope

Alright then:

breathes deep

The toilet paper is supposed to point away from you.

Are bodily functions political? Is breathing political? Lol

"Not everything is political"

=

"I am priveledged enough that my right to exist and thrive is never questioned or under fire, and things that I care about are protected by the status quo and the suppression of others"

I still think about this guy who was trying to get into local government, he had a campaign talking point along the lines "I will bring common sense, politics isn't a place for ideologies".

Why did you have to go and make sign tapping political?

Thats the only thing i dont like about lemmy

Theoretically, politics is defined as anything where decisions are made to solve conflicts. However, this is 'broad politics'. A much more common interpretation of politics adds the requirement of it not only being a single, but regular occurrence or rather the main job of someone. Ergo, politicians of a country, or part of it, and their decisions .

Replying "everything is politics" to someone expressing they do not want to talk about politics is like telling someone their offspring cannot be called "kid" anymore as they are over 18 now, after a mother cried that their "kid died of cancer". It's technically correct, but you're a major annoying asshole or just plain stupid to persist on the meaning that was not intended.
As I do not believe there are that many people with a room temperature IQ, in C, or maybe autistic people for that matter, which of course are not responsible, only one explanation remains. If you, or anyone else repeating this pattern, is not an asshole, they should just shut up, or argue for politics if they really want to discuss this topic. A much better solution would be to move to politics only instances tho.
