    my long standing, and proven litmus test of politics is “if you have an opinion, it’s wrong”

    Because without fail, people will just say shit, that’s just wrong. The second that politics comes into play.

    Please for the love of god, stop engaging with politics, it’s worse than reality TV, because we live here.

      Please for the love of god, stop engaging with politics,

      If you live in anything resembling a democracy that’s basically surrendering to whatever opponents of your rights want to do to you. If you’re that submissive I guess that’s your only option but I’m saying if you have any strength of will at all ‘engage with politics as an individual, just don’t imagine yourself as representing or represented by a team.’

        ‘engage with politics as an individual, just don’t imagine yourself as representing or represented by a team.’

        this pretty much. Everytime i say this shit people seem to take the most idiotic interpretation of it for some reason. I’m talking about the kind of politics where nothing happens other than people yelling at each other for being stupid, and then ironically, people yell at me for being a stupid idiot.

        Comedy literally couldn’t write itself.

          “Why are people interpreting my broad stupid statement as a broad stupid statement instead of the nonsense specific statement I imagined in my head? Are they stupid?”
