When you ignore politics:
Except it's mostly Americans, and their politics mostly has nothing to do with me. Such is life I suppose.
Give it time, eventually we will do an imperialism to your country too.
Well, the 'politics' communities are usually used by US folks as their politics communities. It's great that Trump is doing senile-old-man things again, but I cannot vote for or against the guy anyways. So, there is no real reason for me to keep up with that drama.
Honestly if I weren't American, I would still keep up with American politics at the moment just for entertainment value, or to feel better about the situation im in. "Oof, America has it bad right now. Thank god I live in Sri Lanka!"
Remember kids, nothing doesn't apply to you, everything was made specifically for you. If you find yourself in a community that seems like it doesn't apply to you, remember that you're never in the wrong place, obviously it is that community who is in the wrong.
What? Is this supposed to be snark? By blocking the community, I am saying that this is the wrong place for me to be. I just don't want it showing up in /all.
I still browse through the political communities occasionally but I hate how their posts absolutely dominate the main page by default.
This is certainly what they want you to think.
The fact is that "both sides" (sorry) are selling a pill for doom. The fire meme above is whatever Trumps latest scary/dumb thing he said, or it's 40 network cameras focused on a 100 SqYd patch of a city that wants to be on the news.
It's whatever will mobilize you to donate, click, watch, buy, and yes, vote.
We only got the fire meme because we don't understand fire.
