Why does everything have to be political?
Went to r/music and had to scroll 3 pages before I saw a post that wasn't about trump or maga or ICE. r/pics is basically useless for the same reason and on and on. I was reading some posts about the winter storm on the east coast and someone mentioned how much ice they were going to get and half the comments were about the OTHER ICE with the highest rated comment being a tirade about the pedo fascist cheese man blah blah...on a post...about the weather...ffs.
I get people are mad and the world is justifiably angry but does nobody ever want to live outside that even for a second? It's like there is a sentiment that if you stop talking about it for 2 seconds and don't make it part of everything you say then you become part of the problem because you are "ignoring the issues".
Every. Single. Thing is people tripping over people who were tripping over themselves to find SOME way to make the topic an outlet for political discussion regardless of how wildly unrelated it originally was.
EDIT:
Ok so from the response I have gotten, unless you are political 100% of the time with every fiber of your being you are apolitical. Gotcha.
Good fucking lord. I mentioned having the capacity for SOME things SOMETIMES to not be about politics and it's like im a holocaust denier. I give up. You'll have to continue on without me. ✌️
