Filter Trump and Musk. It's less than 1 in 20 after that.
It just sucks how many don't include them in the title so you think you're getting a meme and instead you get some dumb shit.
It would be great if Lemmy implemented a user tagging system so people could tag posts and use those for filters
I wish I could just filter posts with that shade of orange in the thumbnail. So sick of seeing his face. The anti trump people are even more obsessed with him than the trumpets.
Just reading some of the arguments between people of different political persuasions on this post would fry your brain.
How meta
The other 2/3 are about politics, so...
The world has become political and its not for the better, but it is what it is. You don't get to choose to not be involved anymore. World doesn't work that way.
Don't wanna play the game? Go touch grass.

Thoughts on trans people using public restrooms? —I'll answer your question with another question: why's it called a "public" restroom when you aren't shitting out in the open?
Thoughts on the world's interlocking systems of marginalization, exploitation, and oppression, including the core contradiction between the working and owning class, causing the slow demise of the planet under a world order which can only justify itself through unsustainable constant growth? —Them systems can't be reformed innit (※this opinion is apolitical because I have declared it to be common sense.)
Thinking that nothing is political is just admitting you like being ignorant
