I get really annoyed when people bring up politics on unrelated threads

I'm very political and even I fucking hate that. I'll make a post about sports or music or video games or the fucking weather and I'll get someone wanting to tie it to politics somehow.

Well, I see this all the time and not just here on SW. I will not mention a party, a political ideology or name because I believe it is about something MUCH MORE IMPORTANT to us all...the ability to think for ourselves.

We have become a pretty unthinking, follow the leader type of society. We have been told what to do, what is and what to believe. Without questioning it; we do it. (go ahead and quote a news media source that this is not true...😳)

Just imagine for a moment, isn't our anger hurting us, keeping us from seeing the truth and questioning the very things that others are trying to point out to us????

I think this is where the right or left sides come into play; they call it
"identity politics" and they play one side against the other...
being the THIRD or tie breaking voice, the government or powers that be,
let us fight against each other and they win. We lose. All of us.


Now PLEASE go ahead and make this political; it will only prove my point.
*off soapbox* Thank you.

We’re a democratic country where people are convinced that their opinion matters more than it does. So this problem is the consequence of that.

Yes, I agree.
Even soft drinks and sporting events have been dragged into politics.

I was going to make a joke and though there are things that frustrate me on political posts already, this makes absolutely no sense to me. Sometimes people are just people who made different decisions hoping to get the best results.

I am so tired of all of this.

yes, its very annoying and also makes them look unintelligent, like there is no other possible analogy in their brains then the politics with which the media has brainwashed them. its kind of sad.

I find that very annoying, also. Some people have always done that, since I first joined a similar site 10 years ago.

Ikr screw politics if we have you outfit

just like the $unliked_party! they do that all the time! robble robble. the joke being that both/they all do.

I am American and not fond of that myself

I agree. Politics should stay in politics.

Biden made it a law of SW...

Yes.
