I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.
Not to mention almost everything is political these days…
Like, the root cause of most our issues are political and there’s a lot of issues. So it shouldn’t be surprising most topics are tied back to it.
When 1/3 of the country makes the president their entire personality, and hate the other 70%, whether they are LGBTQ, minority, democrats, or just women, it’s going to be hard to avoid politics.
one particular country.
but also a worldwide trend
Yeah, Duterte just got reelected, and he’s in prison at the Hague rn.
