Would OP please consider posting this to politics?
You could do so yourself but I understand not wanting to as this would quickly turn your inbox into a trash fire for a long time depending of which politics community you post it to and who is federated with who.
I didn't want to steal credit for someone else's post. Or notoriety. Potato potahto.
Go ahead, please post it anywhere. It's important that people know history.
I can only post it to kbin. I've never been approved for Lemmy world or .ml
ETA: annnd I got the error message. Please remind me later
Some things are very wrong with lemmy when good content like this needs to get posted in memes ..
I got an error message but it posted anyway.
On lemmy.ml, everywhere is politics! Didn’t you know?
Literally everything we know of is already inherently political, on account of being perceivable by humans.
Not sure what definition of political you’re using.
Management/governance of things having to do with humans, which is everything that we know of.
But there are plenty of things that don’t involve governance. Like I’m not gonna look at a video of someone playing with a puppy and go “Hm yep there is a human so this is political.”
Late reply but the fact that people keep pets at all is also a very political subject.
I think context matters a lot. Green Day's "Dominated Love Slave" isn't very political, and to be honest it would be kind of dumb to try and make it out to be. Similarly, for "Pulling Teeth" by them as well - they're just stories about them. "American Idiot" on the other hand is political, and it would be quite dumb to argue that it isn't.
As such, all things can be. Now, if the argument is that everything can be made to be analogous to a political statement, like how "I'm all busted up, broken bones and nasty cuts, accidents will happen but this time I can't get up" for domestic abuse and our current state of the government then by all means yes though our human perception we can make that jump, but I wouldn't necessarily say that it was the point even if I would agree. Exactly the way I likely would for someone's argument about "American Idiot" not being political, like argue all you want but objectively it's false.
Anyway not really sure what my point here is. I guess not everything is political, but it can be if it is reconstructed through multiple lenses. Kind of like memes!
