If you’re not participating in politics, politics is certainly participating in you.
I get it. This country/society that we’re in is basically the Titanic, and any one person trying to push it in one direction does almost nothing. But almost nothing is still better than nothing.
The iceberg is a little off our starboard bow, so I get a little offended when people imply steering left and right is the same thing. Each of us in a democracy has an obligation to try to improve our society, because the alternative is the world going to shit. The bare minimum of that is knowing what’s going on, having an opinion about it, and voting.
Public discussion is an increasingly important part of that. The idea that it’s not polite to talk about politics and people fully ignoring “politics” is how we got to the shitshow we’re in today.
I appreciate your perspective. Although I don’t agree with it completely. Partly because we’re most probably not from the same country/society.
I’m not apolitical. I vote and I engage in political discourse. The issue I have here is purely logical. Reddit is banning third party apps so they wanna sell MAGA hats sounds stupid to me.
If anything, Reddit and their user base is left leaning. One thing they do wrong, which isn’t even political, and suddenly they’re far right.
Oh, now I see what you’re saying. No, it’s not so they can sell maga hats. It’s that the people most likely to leave lean left, making space for the maga hats to move in and turn Reddit more towards Truth Social.
I get it. I’ve seen both left and right do that tbh. But what does it have to do with Reddit?
Right buys MAGA hat and is a cult so reddit is going right wing?!
