I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

Taking a break from this to eat dinner. I'll draft something up after that, since, yes, the USA does ban memes. Why do you think r/cth was removed, precipitating us to move to Hexbear? 'Slaveowners should be killed' meme is basically about the USA.

G "China banned Winnie"

R "No they didn't and here's evidence"

G "Oh I'll choose to ignore that"

G "The USA doesn't censor online political speech"

R "Yes they do and here's a directly relevant example to our discussion from the self proclaimed 'front page of the internet'"

G "Oh you're just a shit posting community that doesn't count"

You completely cave from every point in the face of scrutiny. Do you have any shame? You retreat every time and just throw out another glib line. Thanks for the thought dulling discussions mate.

Don't feed the trolls, they're just trying to waste your time.

Yeh I know, thanks for the reminder though. I'm keeping in mind the friends following along at home, who may be undecided about this kind of stuff, and trying to put forward a relatively sourced, evidential argument for them, not necessarily goat. I myself was swayed by lurking on forums like this. I'm not nearly as good as other comrades but it's honest work.
