Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

The diverse crowd are usually pretty wary and reserved these days when it comes to interacting with white men. Can't blame them, but its not as easy to make friends as say "hi", because you have to prove first you are not one of "those" white men.
And I am more radical than most, I am pro positive discrimination (like 55% of government should be women, even if people want to elect men), subsidized gender affirmative care, open borders with no checks, drugs decriminalization etc whatever.
But I do also hate virtue signaling and being performative male who can't shut up how he hates patriarchy to get laid. And fortunately or not, no one ever knows if I privately donated money to RAINN.
Paradoxically even this comment by me is virtue signalling, oh well.
So, we are basically in a stalemate where I am asked to perform and I don't like doing that, thus we are both at arms length, although technically I would considered myself an ally.
