If you want to understand the lawns thing, try ordinary things video about lawns. And levvitt towns... And white flight... And racism.

I know and understand the political history of American lawns. What I was saying is that the meme itself, while existing within that context, is not consciously political. Life and society is complex, if you think about anything for long enough you can make a political point about it. Just because there is an underlying political narrative behind things like mall jewelry stores and American lawns, does not mean every single meme or conversation about those things is or has to be political.

Look through my comment history, you'll find I am very much not opposed to talking about politics
