I don't see environmentalism as a political issue/political but if you want to see politics in anything hey, if there is will there is a way
It is absolutely a political issue. To quote Chico Mendes, one of the greatest conservationists, who was murdered for it, environmentalism without class struggle is gardening.
You may not like that politics is involved with conservation, that's fair. But it is, and the people doing the destroying are the ones who control politicians.
Every societal issue is a political issue comrade.
We're former redditors. We don't do that here.
I hate to break it to you but many Memes always where and always will be political!
Go make some
Actual memes are often political because almost nothing is fully nonpolitical.
If you think it's nonpolitical that just means you are fine with the politics to the point that you don't notice them.
The act of you deciding what you think is "political" is itself a political act between what you're comfortable with and what you're uncomfortable with.
Stop whining and stfu.
you mean the meme page on lemmy dot marxist lenninist? I'm shocked by the political nature of this place!
keep politics out of marxism plz
Pretty much nothing that can be imagined is fully nonpolitical. If you think it is, it just means it has politics that you're comfortable with that you don't notice.
