Like, I’m just a normal fucking person in a time where people (including children) are getting kidnapped by the government for being brown. Trump pardoned violent criminals and their ring leaders as well as corrupt billionaires while pissing away our tax money into carpet bombing a nation of 48% children.
Fucking good for you if don’t mind the taste of boot, but I’m watching our way of life begin to collapse. Slapping the ‘politics’ label on it and feels like a load of bullshit.
You’re not a normal person, literally go outside and touch grass.
Normal people have political opinions, they do discuss politics, but that’s not their every thought. It might be shocking for you to hear, but people actually have lives outside of arguing about politics. This is true for people all around the world, rich or poor, old or young, male or female. Even in the most dire of circumstances, people find ways to enjoy life and not think about stressful things all the time. Otherwise they would be miserable all the time… like you.
Pointing out the reality is not “tasting the boot”, that’s just a cop out made by people on this site whenever their shitty opinions get exposed or pushed back. It’s a lazy way to dismiss criticism or opinions that contradict their extremely narrow and out of touch worldview. Come back to me when you actually go outside and talk to people from different backgrounds. Until then, you’re a zealot.
What the fuck are you on about? Touch grass? Come off with that shit man. You don’t know if I need an abortion or if my Medicare or Medicaid has been stalled by the government. You don’t know if I started carrying my birth certificate and passport everywhere I go just so I don’t get deported to El Salvador. You don’t know how many of my health insurance claims have been denied.
It’s like telling a soldier to ignore the war that things could be worse and they should enjoy life. I don’t think it’s a shit opinion to say that carpet bombing children is wrong. I think you’re projecting. You don’t know what life is like for most. You don’t know how bad things have gotten for most. You just know that things are good for you and your social circle and that everyone should make you feel comfortable and happy about it. Go find an echo chamber if that’s what you want.
You’re so dishonest it’s unbelievable. Nobody is arguing with you on your political opinions, that’s not the point of contention. You can think whatever you want, that’s your problem and right. What I was saying is that normal people don’t think about politics 24/7 like terminally online Lemmy users. People treat politics like they do any other subject. There are times when they think about, talk about it, and take action on it, and times where they don’t. It’s really simple as that.
This idea that people you deem as non privileged think about politics all day everyday is not reality. That’s an out of touch assumption that you made up to justify an inaccurate worldview you have. People not thinking about politics 24/7 doesn’t mean they don’t care about politics or that they ignore politics, it means that there’s more to life than politics. People who do spend all their time talking and thinking about politics aren’t normal, those are zealots, they’re fanatics. This is not a new or controversial, this was literally always the case.
It’s weird to be called zealous.
