I am not a right winger if that was what you were implying. I just dislike seeing political videos (regardless of their stance). Same for Lemmy for that matter, I block political communities whenever I see them in All.
You do know that politics permeates almost everything subjective right?
They also frequently are completely nedia illiterate. Like people who think fallout is anti-communism, when it's indifferent to that but extremely anti-capitalism.
I guess we need to stop using the word "political" now. Yet another stupid language grab by the right-wing. I avoid Politics, in that I don't want to hear what Trump said today or what someone said that might happen, blah blah blah. Major points, like incitements etc trickle down to me sure, but I don't tune into Cable or Nightly news; It gives me too much anxiety. I also don't care about Hunter Biden, if Joe Biden said something weird etc. It's too much.
That being said. I vote in every Election and Primary. I spend most of my energy in the primaries making sure to vote for the right candidate for me. The General Election is a party sweep these days as I lost Trust in anyone willing to run as a Republican.
Media with Queer, and non-white people isn't political to me. It's Media. I love underdog or overcoming adversity stories, so they show up a lot.
If you say so. But I'm talking about videos specifically designed to cause outrage and arguments. I'm sure you know the type.
Nah I don't care about someone's hair color.
You do understand that's not the same thing as being lectured by content creators, right?
