Is anyone else tired of "listening" to the incessant political bickering that goes on here all the day long?

How I feel about politics here...

I mostly stay out of it ,but I feel that some things are made into political matters that shouldn't be.
Sometimes ,I comment on those.
I won't just bicker all day ,though.
I just say my thoughts and if someone's respectful I may have a conversation with them, if not I'm going to end it right there.
How, it gets ended is dependent on how the person responds.
If I feel further discussion is not going to change either of our minds and we can part peacefully I go that route.
If they start going batcrap and calling me names they get blocked.

@Justmeraeagain I do think some things are politicized that are just silly. I see it happen on non political posts and hate it.
It doesn't seem very political on here to me.. and when I see the occasional political post I just avoid going in there.

Maybe I've just been lucky in the algorithm. I don't know, but it's a welcomed change in comparison to everywhere else online right now.

A lot is, honestly..

@Magicianzini There are certain people who argue for days, but it's usually within certain groups and with certain people.
@Justmeraeagain I see.. so it's best that I just continue to not click those 🤣🤣

Thank you

@Magicianzini I see several - and like Rae, I think it's a lot the same people. I try not to click on those questions, but sometimes I get fooled. Lol.
That’s why I was glad I could mute the Politics forum. Not that stuff doesn’t leak through but it does help a lot.

@OlderSometimesWiser Seems like sometimes it doesn't matter what is asked or discussed, someone always bringing politics and negativity into the comments. Ugh.

Similar Worlds was built on the premise of similar experiences, as its predecessor, The Experience Project. These values have eroded due to politics and thus Similar Worlds can no longer function as it was intended; Different Worlds is a more apt title.

@Adogslife Unfortunately, you are correct!
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@RageAgainstTheMachine I won't ditch people because they aren't exactly like me in thought and opinion. My lifelong friends and I still have a healthy respect for each other. If that tide changes at some point in the future, it may come to that. But thankfully, it hasn't yet.

Yes!!!! Sadly I sometimes let myself get dragged into it

I don't particularly engage. Prefer talking about fun things or talking life.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@twistedrope I don't engage either, but I do get tired of reading political comments on non-politic questions. Adults bickering and name calling gets old.

I don't ever talk politics on here at all.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Cigarguy I don't either. No desire to chat politics here.
Yes, I'm sick of it.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Yes, but it is difficult to avoid.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@samueltyler2 Yes. And it doesn't matter what the topic is. I have gotten to where I delete political responses to my absolutely non-political questions.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Fishy That pie chart exactly!!
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@Fishy It's futile

The indifference of citizens to politics gives a boost to the thugs in politics ..
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@romell I am not indifferent. I simply don't engage here. No one will ever change their mind and I hate the continual bickeringll. Hiding behind a keyboard makes some very brash and rude.
