Normal people, who like politics. We like to watch political movies like Star Wars and read political books like A Song of Ice and Fire. We’re the majority in every country and every culture.
You must be confused, Lemmy is for the most part dead, you don’t represent most people, you represent a tiny group of leftwing progressives who put weird shit like
Goddess of madness and rebirth. Excrucian Strategist. Capitalised They/Them. Anarcho-Antireal theorist.
In their profiles.
You’re not most people so don’t even think of responding on behalf of them.
Most people went back to reddit after realising this place was full of left wing weirdos
Well I think you’ll find that in addition to politics, most people like progress. They want society to become better over time. Better technology, better culture, better art, better governance. Most people are progressives, at least in theory. Now, most of them don’t act like they like progress, and they don’t act like they like politics either, but they do. And if you can avoid triggering any thought terminating cliches and speak to them logically in language they understand, they’ll tell you that they support socialism, environmentalism, queer rights, racial and gender equality, voting reform, and many other left wing policies. The trouble is just that they don’t want to put any thought or effort into how society is going to achieve that. But they like it in theory.
i’m genuinely sorry if this post darkened your day, I don’t like upsetting people unnecessarily and I totally understand that it can be exhausting, but for me, it’s not just politics, there is a solid chunk of the world who want me to suffer and die, and I need to do everything in my power to try and build momentum to remove those people from power.

You must be confused, posting in a shitpost community on lemmy of all places is literally doing fuck all, you’re not reaching out to anyone, all you’re doing is getting upvotes from the echo chamber
There’s someone on facebook right now posting in the take back america group that transgender lefties are gay and retarded and getting the same upvotes, it means nothing, you’re not changing anyones mind
to be 100% clear nobody around here is right wing or conservative, you’ve chased them all away and you even scare most centre right and centre people as well
you know how trump has this method of madness called flooding the zone? you guys have this thing of flooding the lemmy, doesn’t matter if I’m in pics for non-political pictures of things, memes for non-political memes, or even a damn gardening comm, somehow you always end up posting about american politics and a lot of us are sick of it
Hey friend it’s a lot easier to not be shitty when someone disagrees with you, than to triple down on being shitty. Also: this comic doesn’t even mention America, you added it yourself
i love politics in my shitpost com
Go find an apoliticist community to post in, we don’t want any apoliticists here.
Who is “we” ? If it’s a bunch of American dickheads who have turned this place into a ghost town then fuck off, you’re driving people back to reddit

thanks for sharing your thoughts, respectfully, I disagree, but I hope you have a great day regardless!
Hey! Thanks for making this place worse and driving people back to other platforms! Have a nice day!
you know you can just make your own community that bans political posts, or indeed, anything you don’t like, right?
Hey! Yes if you look at my profile you’ll see I’ve done just this for some comms of mine. You can click on my name to see my profile.
However I have no interest in creating a second Lemmy Shitpost purely to stop rabid Anti-Americanisms, maybe one day but not today.
Many of us would just prefer it if you could take a fuckin hint and stop spamming anti-American shit all over the place.
Hope your day is going great and you can consider others when you throw your litter on the ground instead of telling them to go make another planet :)
okay, just checking! take care <3
As mentioned, ty for making lemmy worse :)

You’re being very normal about this.
