I hardly have educated opinions on politics as I’m not interested enough to partake. So yeah, my opinions would probably be wrong as I simply do not know better.
So I do the logical thing, and don’t attempt to talk about something I’m not educated in.
That doesn’t make me a fascist or a “politics lovet in denial”.
I’ve done all kinds of abnormal things that aren’t remotely political, like eating pizza crust first, drinking hot water with cream and sugar, walking around in an armor costume outside of Halloween, and entering meetings with bizarre camera mods.
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 )
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.

“I just don’t like the arguments”
“Oh, so you wanna get along with bigots and fascists?”
Loving his argument. If you don’t partake, you’re an afficionado in denial. 😂
Or maybe you just claim you don’t like politics because you don’t wanna get called out for your objectively wrong opinions 🤨

That’s already ten steps ahead of the average political discussion.
