I haven't been on this sub for a while. It was once my go-to for just memes.

If this is truly the top of recent week, the the sub has gone downhill in both moderation and content, which is sad to see.

Also thanks for proving my point. You somehow forced gardening into a political topic. A childhood prank into a political topic. We are truly master of politicing the most inane things.

The other topics I cannot say. Existing in a society is political. Breathing is political.

I just wish to see a place where a meme about gardening is met with conversation how things are for others. Ex: 'This is how I do gardening in [location], I dream of having a nice field of [local species] to support the bees.'

And not have it devolve into political us-vs-them tribalism and hostilitites. Ex: 'Those lawns are a product of American liberal colonialism! I hate you and you should feel ashamed!'

~~That these images are hosted on lemmygrad.ml is very telling and just supports the general feel that users interacting from there are just interacting to create hostility and dissonance.~~

~~Not everybody, sure, I had conversations that were pleasant. I even read Marx summarised work as a suggestion from one from the lemmygrad-instance. And someon corrected me on a misconception I had from it.~~

Edit: last but crossed out. Was stuck in primary response. I recognise that threads reviewed also has a lot of inate hostility for the 'us'-camp. And hostility breeds hostility.
