    I don’t mind political memes, we’re adults and politics plays an important part of our lives, satire on politics is a welcome part of life, BUT… why must they all be foreign memes from the Americas?

    We should have a mix of political memes from all around the globe! Gods knows, Sunak or Braverman are deserving of memery… :-P

    I’m not smort enough to make memes :-(

          Considering that the Germans still upload the memes using fax, it’s impressive that they are the biggest and loudest meme creators here in Europe.

          I don’t understand a lick of German, but I probably look at 50% of the stuff they put up. It’s interesting seeing memes from other cultures.

          Honestly, I just enjoy looking at the images and looking for patterns. It’s not like I sit there doing it for hours. If I see one that looks like it could be funny, I’ll look at it for 20 or 30 seconds and see what I can divine lol

          All of this is to say I don’t translate anything and often have literally no idea what is being said

      We have the best memes. We are a meme force to be reckoned with.

      Also, we’re desperate for some mirth to lighten the burden of how horrible some of our politicians are.

        Y’know I’m a patriot and all, but I wish we didn’t spend so much of our national budget on the Meme Force. Let’s stop shipping our memes overseas and start meming in our local communities
