I know that, but since internet meme became I thing it has gained a second definition as a type of joke, which is the meaning intended in the names of meme communities. there are places for politics (including political memes) and this is not one of them.
An Internet meme is more than just "a type of joke".
Whether this fits your definition of a meme or not, this is the kind of thing that needs to be shared as widely as possible.
The world needs this kind of support from as many people as possible right now.
is it really so much to ask to discuss politics on communities that are meant for it? I know it may be hard to understand but some people don't want to spend every waking moment sorting through other people's political views (whether they agree or not). let the areas that are for funny shit only be only funny shit, there are places for political statements and this isn't one of them. honestly at least make the political thing a meme if you're going to put it in a meme community this post was just a statement.
as long as there's no rule against politics (and there isn't) i don't think i can bring myself to agree with this stance
