Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about “I can’t use muh slurs, this is awful.”
“The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media.” /u/decidedlysticky23
/u/misshapensteed claims he isn’t far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.
If they are too stupid to figure out we know they’re lying, they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy.

I dunno, “too political” can just mean people don’t want every discussion to devolve into politics. Having these strong left communities front and center can give that impression. I don’t need to read a low effort “capitalism bad” on every topic. I hope this doesn’t devolve into that, but filtering out the politically apathetic sends us in direction for that to happen.
Honestly, other than threads that are specifically about politics I’ve barely seen any politics on here lol
Especially here on Beehaw cause I’m also on lemmy.ml with another account
In my experience, like 4 times out of 5 when people decry things getting too political, what they’re really saying is they like things the way they are and they don’t want anyone to change anything. the other 1 time out of 5 they’re just super exhausted fighting the good fight all the time and need to turn off for a bit just to survive the next day.
it’s the one thing I like about mastodon - the CWs - even though it seems like so many people are against them. but in my view, it gives people who are wrung out and highly upset over politics and general disappointment an ability to let their batteries recharge, while still allowing others to agitate for change and shine a light on political problems.
it also neatly pulls the rug out from under the 4/5ths of people who are happy with their lot in life and don’t want anyone else to win like they are. I see this as an absolute win

Exactly. Everything is political; if saying or doing something is political, then not saying or doing it is also a political stance.
