Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

It's not even I slid to the left. I settled on most of my current viewpoint around university. At the time I was moderate left. Now, I'm a lot closer to extreme left, apparently. Despite my views not changing significantly.

There is research that says that it might be more generational than age. Like the people who were around for the new deal were more liberal (relatively for their time).

If that is correct Millenials will remain liberal and the next generations will shift back against their parents beliefs.

But also money tends to make one more conservative, and age usually comes with more money.

Isn't Gen Z more conservative and gen A more liberal? Wonder what Gen B will be?

They are really split around gender lines apparently.

Younger women are now liberal while men are moving right.

Still I have not really seen anything lately about it. Maybe right leaning people are starting to shift after a year of getting what they asked for.

My Gen Z brother in-law is insufferable to listen to on anything political. He's 25 and works as a waiter. In his words, he can't find a good job because all the Indians and Mexicans are taking them.

Yes. Lol.

The scenery slid toward Epstein class corporatism.
