  Haha, “America” 😂

  Thanks for the advice! I think I’ll follow suit.

  I absolutely will judge you for that list. You don’t want to hear about capitalism and climate change? Like the two biggest things that are going to affect our future. Lots of people are unaware of the water they swim in to some extent, but to intentionally avoid it like this is another level of intentional ignorance.

  There’s some real vibes here of someone who’s so privileged that current politics already serves them and they feel like they can just ignore it. Self-described “apolitical” people are still political, it’s just that their politics are usually awful because they don’t think about them.

  If I ever thought of using a filter like this - and I really don’t think I ever will - the fact that you’re the kind of person to use it makes me even less likely to consider it. I never want to shove my head in the sand to that extent.

  Go ahead and block me for saying this, I wouldn’t want to make you feel slightly uncomfortable for the few seconds it takes to scroll past. It’s better if you just don’t know I exist. One less voice to antagonise you with reality.

    I come to lemmy because I have time to relax, not to get all hyped up like you. If I want to stay informed I read articles, not people’s opinion.

      I honestly didn’t expect you to reply. I’m quite willing to accept my impression was wrong here, if you tell me what your politics are. I’ll quite happily own up to the fact that I characterised you as an apolitical/centrist type, and that may have been wrong. Is that wrong?

        I used to be central but now I tend towards the right because the left are ruining everything in my country (Belgium). I used to be political but I realized nothing changes when you vote because:

        There is this rule here were they won’t allow any right party to be in the government. But the 2 biggest parties are right. To exclude them they form a coalition of every other party in order to outnumber the 2 biggest but they barely have majority. Knowing these coalition partners don’t see eye to eye and fight amongst each other over the littlest things makes Belgium un-governeable.

        I will add this chart to show how many rival parties are currently (fighting) in control and how fragile this majority is. If a party doesn’t get their agenda pushed they threaten to leave the coalition and leave the rest outnumbered leaving us without a government. This result in conflicting and idiotic policies. 54% of our monthly paycheck goes to taxes to support this monstrous coalition, they don’t deserve it.
