You know, i do actually very often concur with these kinds of content, like the ones saying billionaires are leaches on society and governments are often used as a weapon to protect the ruling classes.

But man… when i come to lemmy i kinda want to only see memes, and funny stuff… even communities that are not niches to political content get political way too often. Like gotdammit, when i get to c/comics i just want to see funny drawings, i’m way too tired to want to see your lame class war comic…

Is that a feeling i’m the only one feeling?

edit: i think what makes it worse is that very often they’re not even funny, just literal propaganda, “good guy propaganda”, maybe, but still propaganda

edit n2: edited title and body slightly to be “open ended” on mod’s request

    I understand your view, but for a bit of context i’m poor too. I live in Brazil and my origin state the poorest in my country. The current region i live is also sometimes biased against people like me. My financial situation is also quite shit right now.

    Maybe i’m trying to be an escapist, seeing my own problems on unfunny internet comics, but say “go be poor somewhere else” really wasn’t my intention with this post.

      I have heard this sentiment before ie where people in stronger economic situations are more likely to birch endlesslly about class struggling while people beat down just need some escape.

      You ain’t wrong we all got to cope.

      The class struggle is just human condition. People have a right to cope as. They see fit.
