I look at it as a matter of both privilege and apathy. I get upset (not visibly, of course) when people say they don’t “like” politics, or blow it off entirely. Politics is not some separate entity, we are living in a society! An inherently political game!

Furthermore, there is no “politics” as just a concept. What part of politics? Literally everything is politics. Climate change and environmental care? Food and agriculture? Economics? Culture, beauty, art? How can someone blow off literally everything? To me its an attempt to shut down conversation and demonstrates they don’t care or have no idea about the atrocities that have occurred/are going to due to the West’s collapse and climate change. Am I out of touch? Being non-undedstanding?

Let me know, thanks

    Because Westerners, and especially Amerikkkans are fascists and you risk getting fired or attacked if you freely reveal you’re a communist

    It’s especially bad for me because I am ethnically from an enemy state and I work in a “high class” industry filled with high earning elitist lumpenproles
