“Why do people want to talk about stuff that affects their daily lives so damn much???”
I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog
I deleted Reddit because those politics were too much Bs to handle, found myself in the same politics here as well x-x
I’m genuinely curious what’s the difference between talking about our lives and politics?
You see, if you are white, straight and male, the answer is usually a big difference. For everyone else? Likely very little.
I don’t know why people are down voting you when you’re right. Hell people are mad at you just for talking about it
I mean I was mildly flippant. But I am a straight white guy, so you know, I’m not really punching up or down here?
It doesn’t matter what direction you’re punching here. You’re being called out because your analysis is wrong. Yes, politics in the west is certainly dominated by straight white males, but the important common trait that these people have is their class. Politics in most of the world is dominated by capital owners. Straight white males are afforded some concessions because it creates a divide among the working class. This does not mean that they are not oppressed due to their class character. Working class straight white males can and do suffer from some of the same oppression however, at a lower rate. This oppression is still unjustifiable.
Need a politics-free safe space? It’s called stop supporting people who want me dead.
Like I genuinely get mad when people say stuff like “I don’t want politics in my x” or whatever, because YEAH. ME FUCKING TOO. Do you know how much I would love not feeling on the defensive at all times due to the pending casual extermination of people like me that you are either supporting or ignoring??? If all the libs wanted me to be a lib like them they could have simply not made me life hell.

How do you know what country they live in and if the issue is relavent in your country or not?
I’m getting the impression from Lemmy that there’s an overrepresentation of the particular demographic of comfortable middle-aged bookish software engineers who live in the US or Canada.
On the other hand there’s also an overrepresentation of tankies. I don’t think those are the same people.
“Tankie” is to liberals as “woke” is to conservative liberals and fascists.
What word would you prefer to someone who tells you to your face that they intend to “put you up against the wall” and then asks if you “know what that means, you fucking lib”?
I mean, I’m a demsoc, and of the last 20 death threats I have received in my life, 15 came from people who identify as Communist-Leninist. PLEASE give me a better word for them.
Communist
How many leftists do you have to execute to earn your colors?
None, just liberals willing to go along to get along with fascists. Which you are.
Funny because of the dozens, if not hundreds, of death threats I’ve gotten, practically all of them come from zionists, NAFOs, keyboard nazis or the occasional trumpeteer.
Tankies don’t get death threats from other tankies? I’m shocked!
no but trans people get death threats from “anti-tankies”

I’m a demsoc. I want to respect Communism more, but I never get death threats from liberals and do occasionally get death threats from Tankies.
It sucks because I feel they’d make a good ally to compromise with if they weren’t hoping to have me executed for not supporting an authoritarian seizure of power.
Come off of it. You are not getting death threats from MLs. You just want to feel self-important
What’s a tankie?
Someone who supports the rights of those in the global south
there’s no such thing as a tankie, the word literally has no meaning
Death to America
Death to all tankies, hooyah America, KILL THE BEAR. Ready to set 1SQ for strategic nuclear launch! Fuck the Kremlin, and fuck the CCP!
You don’t even know the name of the party. Don’t speak on things you clearly know nothing about

Unfortunately, walks don’t last forever. Another option is to delete your lemmy/kbin account, because everything in these places is politics or related to politics or turned into politics.
You literally have a political pfp.
Yes. After some self thinking about this topic, I realized that my concern is not about politics in general. My concern is about US politics and its big polarization, and about that fight between capitalism and communism. I wouldn’t mind politics focused on other countries or Europe, and without that polarization.
Your pfp is about one of the most polarizing topics. Most politics I see is relevant in Europe as well
It’s not polarizing when I don’t see tankies polarizing it :P
On Kbin, I don’t see much European politics, unfortunately.
Using the flag of a far-right regime isn’t polarizing?
I don’t see the Russian flag anywhere to talk about a far-right regime. Do you?
Okay, Nazi
Funny, never seen anyone complain about it.
Maybe it’s just you.
maybe its Maybelline! Now off to go ban more hexbear communities…
I wish I could ban hexbear as a whole.
Go back to watching your Fox News
Going for a walk?!?
That has surprisingly become political in the US
The call for walkable cities is a fatphobic dogwhistle!!!1
