This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

MODERATORS
The more extreme someone's views, the more likely they are to talk about them.
People with moderate views generally avoid talking politics as much as possible.
Plenty of people with moderate views are passionate about politics and love to talk about it. Its just that they talk about boring stuff like policy positions and numbers.
I think it's also that the more you talk about and involve yourself in politics the more you get radicalized, it works both ways
Not necessarily, being around people who are obsessed with politics is a good way to put you off politics.
Being on Lemmy is bad enough sometimes.
Fucking amen to that. I thought Reddit was shrill with the politics.
Depends on the person and how well they are aware. Ive had discussions with people who were all over the place on the political spectrum. In the end with some i had a calm talk and exchanged ideas, that have made me realise things that could lean both ways and in others i left angry, but not changed because i was aware what was happening with me, emotionally, because of the discussion.
It isnt for everyone, ill grant you that, but self knowledge and being open to new ideas is key when talking about mundane politics ( and not extreme topics )
That's already ten steps ahead of the average political discussion.
