the whole idea that discussing politics is lame is a neoliberal brainworm.

Don't discuss politics with your family, just enjoy the time! โ€” okay weird but sure

Don't talk politics with your friends โ€” what the hell why not

No politics at work โ€” that's a deeply political place wtf are we doing

The only place to discuss politics is the same place we're supposed to talk about gun violence.

A concrete, soundproof bunker that you need to climb a 60-foot ladder down to seal yourself inside, ensure nobody is around, and whisper your grievances into a small vinyl bag, then tie the bag up with a zip-tie and place it inside a mason jar and return it to the shelf inside the bunker.

This is how you protest as an American if you want to follow established societal norms and etiquette. Anything else and it's between 4 and 10 gunshots to the chest, face and back.

Don't yell about politics in the work place. Just complaining about straw men is tiring.

sure, let's just finish our grueling shift during repression by the gestapo in silence.

nothing to see here, i don't wanna upset the colleagues with such nonsense like "politics"

Yelling and talking are different things. Don't get into a fit is all.

i find some yellers to be justified in their anger and break from polite decorum. given circumstances and stuff.

There are virtually no current events in Germany and yelling about Americans being cray cray is not constructive or beneficial to our mental health. They are not our countrymen.

which means you can ignore all the real consequences of their global campaign?

would the rest of the world be wise if they ignored european fascism the last time around?

No. Of course not. You jump to extremes. That's not very cash money. But it does mean that we shouldn't base our belief in the rule of law on the American system. Foreigners are doing foreigner things all the time. You might not like it but you gotta accept that from time to time. Attention is limited and should be spent wisely.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

the extremes are literally happening irl tho

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Literally not what I said.

Jumping to extremes is an argumentative tactic that attacks the argument in a non factual way.
