People here don’t realise the boundary line of what constitutes acceptable political meme discourse is far away from their expectations.

This the Marxist-Leninist meme community.

If people ‘don’t want politics’ in their memes I’d suggest they go to a different community.

My arguments about power are pretty well understood among social science academics. I didn’t come up with these ideas, I was taught them.

That aside, what do you think someone means when they say ‘let’s not talk about this topic’ do you not accept that’s an attempt to exercise power of what is acceptable discourse?

Who are they to decide?

I’d argue they are exercising covert power.

If you’re interested in the academic underpinnings of this view go read Lukes’ paper on the three faces of power.
