MODERATORS
I noticed that most people I bump into that says they are not into politics, they mean partisan politics. Often from places where they are disenfranchised about their civics.
But if you bring up "holly shit, did you see the price of milk is 7CAD?". They will be more than happy to provided their cents on why and think about solutions.
"I hate politics" = "I don't want to get into an argument with some right-wing foulmouth chud who doesn't listen to reason."
"I don't follow politics." = "I am a right-wing, foulmouth chud who doesn't listen to reason and don't want to get fired or put on social media so I will abstain from revealing my feelings at this time."
"I don't understand politics." = "For the love of fucking God, I work 6 days a week and am raising two kids and three dogs, I have to pack my entire personal life into several hours on a weekend when everything is closed, and people are trying to talk to me about the latest Epstein thing and I don't get what I'm supposed to do about it, I just got told my insulin brand isn't covered anymore and need to find a cheaper substitute and the insurance hotline won't return my calls."
I like how your last one is about a person going on a political rant.
I say it at work because it's not of their fucking business. I don't want to be judged by my stance. I come to work for a paycheck and I intend to keep it.
Me and the boys love to bitch about how much money gets stolen off our pay cheques while it gets spent without any accountability as to where it goes.
You should start bitching about how the rich don't get stolen from the same way instead.
Is there a difference between the government and the rich at this point? They all use political influence to fuck us and better themselves.
Yep.
Whole load of people who've thrown the baby out with the bathwater on that.
