I get what you mean, even thought I don't entirely agree.

If you go to extremes, everything can be political. That's not the reality more often than not. Also, I don't mind politics, and I enjoy different opinions. However, I don't think memes where the point is clearly to annoy or trigger any political party or political movement belong here though.

In sum, I respect and appreciate any and all political opinions, on political centric communities. I just want to look at stupid memes and unwind, I don't want to see the the usual left/right/capitalist/socialist/communist arguments.

If you go to extremes

Who decides what is "extreme?" You?

That's the problem. It's a vague arbitrary line that seems defined by "what you find uncomfortable that you don't want to think about."

Extremes are based on common sense. If you don't have common sense then I'm afraid I can't help you understand what is political and what isn't.

I'm done wasting my time with this crap.

Extremes are based on common sense.

Again, what you call your common sense as an arbitrary and selfish metric that others clearly do not agree with, including here in this thread.

If you don't have common sense then I'm afraid I can't help you understand what is political and what isn't.

That's an impressive amount of textual masturbation there.

I'm done wasting my time with this crap.

Alas, you must go, the nonpolitical logical humans of Rationalia require your presence. Be on your way, oh nonpolitical arbiter of what is and isn't common sense. smuglord farquaad-point

FUCKIN LMAO and who defines what common sense is? Is there a list of criteria for something to be considered common sense that is generally accepted? I must have missed that checklist.

Guess I'm a dumbfuck.
