      Seriously, OP is straw-manning. There’s not this much politics on other sites. Lemmy has a ton of tankies so everything is about communism here

        Yeah, when I’m doing the whole “no politics” thing it’s because the same issues keep being rehashed and even if I’m invested in them it still gets unpleasant when a conversation becomes circular.

        No, they really don’t. For most of us, “stop making everything political” is a simple and clear request that can be fulfilled with 0 follow-up questions.

          Now all I can imagine is a Simpsons character named Political Perry who struggles to live in a society not interested in politics as much as a second year college student.

          Wife left with the kids, doesn’t get invited to social events, nothing in life going right for him, but he doesn’t understand why.

          “Oh, shit. It’s Political Perry. Once asked the guy if he wanted ketchup and was ranted to about the corporate exploitation of the agricultural sector for half an hour. No one look.”

            That sounds exactly like something the Simpsons would do. Either that, or it would be Lisa it happens to.
