About

Your Politics Bore Me refers to a memorable quote said by Thanos in the 2014 Marvel film Guardians of the Galaxy in which Thanos sits on a throne and says, "Your politics bore me." In early 2020, the quote was turned into an exploitable image macro when it was combined with an image of a kid sitting on a stack of Pepsi boxes resembling a throne, known as Kid Sitting On Pepsi Throne, mostly used to react to situations that are perceived as mundane or trivial to the meme creator.
