Preach, my friend. It is actually the main reason I'm considering deleting my profile because part of the reason I left mainstream social media was to get away from politics and ideological lunatics, but this platform is fucking full of both. Even after filtering out as much of it as possible. Its like a cancer, spreading to every forum page on here.
Is there anywhere on the internet where people are just focusing on hobbies and interests that aren't mired in hatred and aggression?
I mean, even work is politics, wages and safety and benefits.
Going shopping is political. Prices are directly tied to politics.
Need to replace broken electronics? Welp, tariffs and its 200% the original cost.
Everything is politics, its impossible to avoid.
Done hobby? Hey what do you know, DJI is soon about to be banned in the USA for perceived "nationak security" issue. Politics.
Want to jerk off? Welp your state banned porn because it went againt some religion. Politics here again.
Lets just eat food. Oh no, the food regulators got fired because of "wokeness" and now you get food poisoning. Politics.
This is like saying that everything is religious and that everyone is religious and then making arguments for why everything can be turned into religious doctrin.
You're technically not wrong if you choose to have that lens on for everything, but it is a very limiting way of viewing the world and to someone like me, borderline madness.
It is also more of an uhm actually argument rather than engaging with the point I was making that I think most of us are aware of. When someone says they would like to avoid politics they are more often than not referring to the aggressive and argumentative stupidity that occurs between people when certain inflamed topics - usually current events in politics - are brought up. It is pretty easy to discern that from anyone who says "can we just not talk about politics right now?"
Much like dicks and religion, some people just don't want that shit shoved down their fucking throats constantly because it is rarely if ever productive and beneficial to anyone. It is, at most a passing contest or an attempt to shame and attack people who sees the world differently from yourself.
Nah. Religion has an opinion about everything. Much, MUCH different than politics literally having an impact on everything. Even a fully secular society would have political efficacy to consider.
