Edit: so basically what people are saying is the lynchpin of the movement is saturation? Not action, marching, protesting, legal discourse, performing acts of resistance. Its this. This is the play?
You’re starting to get it. Politics is not just a very boring television channel. It’s power transactions at the highest levels and it affects basically every thing. To even be able to whine about having to pay attention to politics is a great privilege.
I hear what your saying. However. I need some place to take a break from it. It’s not like I am saying we should ignore politics. I am saying in a humor based community we need a place to rest and heal so we can get back out there. Most of us are burnt out
I understand and am very burned out about it all myself. But I will never have the audacity to complain out loud that anyone is ruining my escapism as long as people out there are suffering with no chance of escape. We’re bombing the fuck out of 80 million people right now.
Nope. As long as our lives get destroyed by rich strangers we will never meet, everything will be political. Trying to force that is just head in the sand.
But when they do, will he be able to say “we’re playing Minecraft here, can we cool it with USA politics?” Without being told to get his head out the sand? I mean, theres rich people he’ll never meet or influence in any way destroying the world, itd be pretty irresponsible to allow him a space to disassociate with it.
Not on lemmy. I spent weeks blocking all the stupid bullshit and now it just infects communities that used to be good. Getting close to blocking this one too.
Perhaps if some among us can simply do the right thing in whatever it is they do in life and pay attention to looking after all that, it might change and we can go back to life with politics in the background but until then, no.
Politics in shitposts
I 100% agree, but there’s no ‘political shitposts’ comm, et voilà

I know but how far does it need to go? How long until my kids are force fed shit about some American political bollocks on their Minecraft server?
That seems like a slippery slope argument to me. Pretty unlikely.

Also not a realistic scenario. Purely slippery slope argument.
“… and then he responded ‘Never has been,’ and that’s the last transmission we got from Artemis II.”
No. Politicians from all walks have bombed others to kingdom come, while good shitposting is just good shitposting.

This is a sacred place. How dare they do this.

Be careful. I’ve recently been informed that lemmy is 100% political and I should find my shitposts elsewhere.
Inherited wealth nepotism knows no bounds. Human intelligence is not hereditary, wealth is. That cancer is terminal.
Not at the moment no
