Your comment was a pain to read. Am I understanding correctly that you’re mostly repeating yourself and ignoring my point about your false dichotomy?
Nobody here is saying we need to invade /c/cutepicsofpuppies with Donald Trump is Bad posts. You’re saying “Get Politics off my Lemmy.” I’m saying somewhere in the middle is best.
We have a rather extreme voter apathy epidemic combined with the resultant diarchy, where the main objective is not solving problems, but ensuring the top two dogs are always on top followed by winning the next election against the other team.
You wrongfully assert 100% of Americans don’t care and don’t do anything; it’s more that a large enough percentage of Americans don’t care and don’t do anything such that the powers that be know they can do whatever awful thing they want to do for their donors.
You’re constructed an excellent false dichotomy there, haven’t you?
Somehow putting uncomfortable conversations into tiny boxes everyone avoids doesn’t feel like the way to stop the rise of the far right.
Enjoy the sand around your head, though.
Evidently the sentiment isn’t having a wide enough reach, as people are crawling into their echo chambers to avoid not having to deal with the fallout of their apathy, handing elections over to the nasties.
Not everyone was German/Italian/Japanese in the 1930s-40s either. Pretty sure those countries still affected others, though.
“No politics please” sounds like a great rule until the results of politics kick down your door and black bag you.
Fighting to remove as many posts as possible on Lemmy when we barely get any posts at all doesn’t make sense; ignore the people requesting you take a popular post down for some potential technicality.
Okay, off my community. Is that better? I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally pedantic or not, but I guess if you’re not, the main issue I’m getting at here is politics is a whack-a-mole where it’s NIMBY until there’s nowhere but /c/politics to talk about it, at which point the baddies win because all dissent is properly quarantined and people have a much easier time pretending nothing is going wrong.
Also can you put all of your personal attacks in the garbage where they belong?
