Very cool how neoliberals and libertarians are being annoying weirdos and nonchalantly defending Joe Biden as he continues to support the Palestinian genocide

The sentiment I’m trying to convey is that I go to specific places for politics, not here. I don’t think politics, in general, fits here. I avoid political posts and discussions in non-political spaces because politics, especially in the US, is extremely and demonstrably polarizing. It very quickly leads to toxicity which makes the community more stressful for me. I absolutely do not want to see it here. I would want to see it in a politics community where it belongs.
Holy hell what a shit take this is a leftist apartment that shitposts, the pic is literally a pinned post in this community lol
You don’t have to flame me for my opinions. This is exactly what I’m talking about: I’m getting flamed for trying to be apolitical about this. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for political posts to stay in their lane and out of my favorite queer memes community. I should be allowed to feel this way without persecution and we should be able to have a civil conversation about this. Calling my views a shit take isn’t productive.
Yeah, it’s a pinned post. That didn’t go amiss. Cool story, bro, but I don’t want to see people arguing about shit here. If this is a shitpost community, stop arguing and get back to shitposting.
This is classic 196 discourse, especially when fighting against people who downplay various rights (or life in the case of the Palestinians) infringements!
It’s ok to feel overwhelmed - just avoid these types of posts and do not click in!
But apartment 196 never was and never will be apolitical when people are dying and trans lives are being threatened. 196 includes politically advocating for groups that need support to live, in addition to the shitposts
I can appreciate this. It’s important to do what we can for the betterment of our cousins, but there’s only so much energy a person can spare. You’re right. I’m checking out of this post and I’ll aim to avoid posts like this in the future if I’m not in the headspace to be proactive.
