I'm not into POLITICS, sorry. ^^

I'm not really into politics, sorry, and I hope y'all don’t hate me for it. It doesn’t mean I don’t care about what’s going on—it’s just that I don’t want to talk about it in a deeper sense. I stay aware of the news, but I don’t really dive into it. To me, politics is like Gotham, full of hideous people and there’s just one hero who truly cares and wears a mask, unlike those with fake smiles. But that doesn’t mean if you ask me about politics, I don’t know anything—I do. I just prefer to stay silent because I know everyone has their own perception. It’s just being lowkey, not dumb. 🐸

Your post sounds very political to me. Just sayin'... 🤷🏼‍♀

@swirlie Most people who say they aren't into politics really mean that they're okay with the status quo of where the country is going and don't want to be talked out of that position.

@LordShadowfire
..but that only took you two sentences to say that, so why did it take the OP almost 8 sentences to deny any involvement with politics... and then at least two more posts to defend their position, I wonder?

@swirlie We may never know, lol.

@swirlie Oh, totally, you can say that. I guess sharing where I stand without trying to launch a full-blown campaign can be seen as politics these days. But hey, who knew my 'I'm staying out of it' stance would be so controversial? Just sayin. ^^

@swirlie I guess I just wanted to make sure I was clear about where I stand?

@LordShadowfire For me, though, it’s not about being complacent—it’s just about not feeling the need to constantly dive into every issue. There are many ways to care about the world and contribute, even if you’re not always vocal about it. I think being aware is already a step in the right direction. Is being aware is clearly too quiet for some people these days? jeez.
