Why do so many people on SW behave as if they care more about politics than about personal feelings?

I don’t think it’s literally the same.

Trolling is intentional, saying thing with the sole intent of causing angst.

Some of the political garbage is trolling. But some is just raw stupidity.

@JoeyFoxx It it's done not caring who it impacts, then it's trolling and that's all there is to it.

I dunno. On a website, the impact is a bit intellectual since you don’t get the same feedback as you would in person.

I still see them as different

@KENZtheFRENZ

@KENZtheFRENZ I like being around people that can talk about theirselves and their emotions openly as well.

But sometimes it's hard for anyone to do it and sometimes it's easier and even fun to talk about something you're interested in, like, say, song lyrics.

😀

@MistyCee I enjoy talking about song lyrics, also other entertainment like movies and TV comedies. Those are all popular topics in my social circle, whereas politics aren't.

@KENZtheFRENZ Politics are difficult these days. It's hard to talk about them with friends and colleagues, because, at least here, IMO, people have very strong opinions, not just about the issues and the politicians, but about how people react to them.

I don't, for example, talk that much about politics in real life, and I like to talk about it here, where I'm not quite so worried about what happens if I get on a soapbox and express my beliefs and thoughts.

Then again, I like to talk here with people who are different than my social circle in real life. So, there's that.

@emptysoul44 sadly true.
