    Where you said your test is asking yourself if you thought it was political and saying you were right 95% of the time.

      What I meant was that anyone can ask themselves if it’s political, and 95% of the time they’ll get it right by the standards of 95% of the people who don’t like politics.

        Ohh so it’s at the discretion of people who “don’t like politics” if it’s political or not.

        Dont worry I’ve seen those “non political” people talk a lot so I know what you mean.

        Like how there’s two races. White and “political”

        So as long as what you post doesn’t offend straight white people it isn’t political, but if it does then it is.

        What a refreshing and original take.

          You’re kinda misconstruing what I’m saying a lot.

          Everyone has their own threshold for what’s political. Some people say everything is political. Some people say it’s only political if it relates to conflict between politicians.

          I’m saying in 95% of cases, 95% of people can agree on what is and isn’t political.

          When people complain about political memes, they’re usually complaining about blatantly political posts, like ones making fun of the republican party, not memes that happen to feature Black people.

            This is clearly not what you just said before

            95% of the time they’ll get it right by the standards of 95% of the people who don’t like politics.

            Unless you are suggesting that something like ~96.95% of the population "doesn’t like politics
