    I don’t like to talk about politics because many people gets unreasonable when it comes to politics. So I basically lose the motivation to talk about it. That doesn’t mean I lose all my opinions.

      Yeah it does. Politics is your entire personality. You’ve just been brainwashed into thinking certain parts aren’t political, when they are.

        Oh, I have no doubt it’s your entire personality.

        Listen, people need some time off every so often, to escape, and avoid talking about what can be an incredibly depressing topic.

        And if you intrude on that, people will just shut you out. Especially when the “conversation” is just you sharing your views.

          I have literally never seen an apolitical comment from you on this website. And you’re always on the fedidrama community. Show me one apolitical comment you’ve made, and I’ll believe you have a personality other than politics.

        I get your point, yeah… your opinion makes sense. It’s just a bit complicated in reality. For example, if I share my point of view straightforward, I may get into trouble. And sometimes people who loves to politicize everything would make discussions painful, like, I just want to talk about algorithm used in some software, and theyr throwing a lot of theories to me ab the company behind it

          Yeah, that’s correct, except you’re not talking about politics. You’re talking about controversy. It’s dangerous for you to talk about controversy, not politics. Everything is political, and that means you talk about politics every day. Everyone you know is completely comfortable with politics, it’s just controversy they don’t like.

          Rich people want you to use the newspeak of calling it politics so you’ll be more malleable.
