Need a politics-free safe space? It's called stop supporting people who want me dead.
Like I genuinely get mad when people say stuff like "I don't want politics in my x" or whatever, because YEAH. ME FUCKING TOO. Do you know how much I would love not feeling on the defensive at all times due to the pending casual extermination of people like me that you are either supporting or ignoring?????? If all the libs wanted me to be a lib like them they could have simply not made me life hell.
Firstly, that sounds like a shit situation to be in, so please don't think I'm dismissing your struggles here.
I don't live in the same country as you and I have no power to even slightly affect your political situation. I read enough bad news about stuff that I at least have a chance to get involved in that sometimes I want to read some funnies on the internet without having to read about another shit situation. It's not because I don't care, it's because it's not worth stressing out further about something I cannot do anything about.
So yeah, that's why people don't want so see US politics everywhere. Just because something is very important doesn't mean it's very important to everyone.
You'll be happy to know that our news megathread is truly an international one because you get to hear about stuff from around the world
