Let’s say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we’d all be in a better mood that day.
Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.
No, I’m not trying to suppress your free speech.
No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.
No, this doesn’t have any baring whatsoever on what country you’re from.
If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?
No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.
If you’re incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.
And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can’t believe that needs to be explained for half the people here…
The problems is what constitutes as politics is very different to different people. Is a gay man posting about his relationship with his husband political?
Why would it be?
Well that’s the fucking question now ain’t it.
Nobody was asking that question prior
Just him mentioning his husband would be political to some people, which is the point.
And in the context of having a politics-free day on Lemmy, why do you care about what those people think?
Anybody who finds a man and a man in a relationship to be political needs to spend less time online
Yeah that’s nice, the rest of us have to deal with reality however. So while you’ve created a fantasy world in your head where things are just and perfect the rest of us don’t have that luxury. So let’s not pretend that things are all that simple eh?
Drag thinks gay people are political. Politics is when a group of people use a process for decision making. A gay couple is a group of people who have decided to date each other. That’s politics. Straight people are also political. Everything is political.
Aroace people are slightly less political than straight, gay, and bi people, but not by much, because they still have jobs and friendships and relatives.
Based on OPs willingness to admit that other people fighting for their very basic human rights as annoying, I’ll answer for them and say yes.
This. So many people’s lives are inherently political and opting out is a privilege.
Drag doesn’t think opting out is a privilege. Drag thinks being apolitical is a marginalised identity. Aroace people don’t participate in the political systems of romance and sex. ASPD people don’t respect political laws or norms. Drag thinks being political is the normal thing to do, and society punishes those who are less enmeshed in the dominant politics.
Drag gets blocked by a lot of people every time Drag comments like Drag is nine years old.
