When people say to stop being political on here, it’s not necessarily that they don’t think politics is important and should never be discussed, it’s that you should turn “off” once and a while and talk about literally anything else. Even Anne Frank wrote about other stuff in her diary sometimes, and her life was under threat by actual Nazis so I don’t buy the “Everything’s on fire so we should never shut up ever” argument. I’m not even asking you to change your mind, just to change the subject once in a while.
Yes but today it is Palestinians, tomorrow it is us.
There is no correct amount to think about or talk about a genocide while it is unfolding, it is relevant to every single one of us in every single moment.
I’m not saying it’s not important, I’m saying could you please not post about it in a completely unrelated community. I swear Lenny’s motto should be “sir, this is a Wendy’s.”
But mooom!!! I wanna post news about the Gaza genocide in the cute pictures of cats community!! Why does the evil early_riser not let me do it and wants to constrain me to topic relevant communities???

I’m just sick of seeing this:
I agree with you on this. There’s a time and place for everything

Surprised to hear that considering how little I hear about Uyghur genocide under the CCP.
