    Being apolitical is just accepting status quo which is, funnily enough, also an explicit political stance.

      You just equated blocking c/politics with being broadly pro status quo. You can be politically engaged and active and not like the discussions on c/politics.

      You can vote without having 70 % of your feed filled with the fucked up USA politics.

        To be fair, voting is less than the bare minimum effort required to enact meaningful change.

          And how can you know what meaningful change even is without staying on top of current events?

      There a huge difference between apolitical and not wanting to be spammed by left-wing echo chamber talking points. Who do leftists think they are reaching on Lemmy anyways lol.

        Lemmy was made by Communists, it has a ton of Communists and Anarchists as a consequence. Believe it or not, Leftist outreach is working on Lemmy.

          While I appreciate yalls community service, the revolution will not be hosted online.

            Course not, that’s why I always tell people to read theory and join an org like PSL or FRSO.

            No one is saying it will. Lots of folks in leftist spaces advocate for getting in the streets, unionizing your workplace, and organizing in socialist organizations. If you’re a socialist, it’s time to find a socialist organization to join. Can’t find any local chapters? Start your own. Don’t like any local organizations? Join one and work to improve it.

            It won’t happen online so just give up and ignore what’s happening. This is so defeatist and exactly what corrupt politicians want, apathy.

        There is a list of people I have radicalized, actually.

        And obviously this is not an echo chamber. Tell people not to vote for a blue team genocider and libs freak out.
