Let’s say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we’d all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I’m not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn’t have any baring whatsoever on what country you’re from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you’re incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can’t believe that needs to be explained for half the people here…

          And in the context of having a politics-free day on Lemmy, why do you care about what those people think?

            Because the decision of which politics is disallowed is a political discussion, and those people will bring their politics of bigotry to the table and argue that “no politics day” means minorities should be silenced.

            Uh oh, you got politics in your no politics.

              You’re on Lemmy, where the vast majority of people are left-leaning. Anyone who says this is going to be downvoted to hell.

                On lemmy I’ve been accused so many times of reverse-racism and reverse-sexism, where advocating for minorities brings out the trolls who want to muddy the waters and claim that noticing bigotry is the real bigotry actually, and they had big vote pile-ons to go with those comments.

                This is largely from big instances with open sign-up. I assume lemmy attracts the right wing trolls who tend to get banned from other places, which is one downside of being a viable alternative that isn’t yet mainstream. Also I’m sure they target this place because it is generally left-leaning.

          Anybody who finds a man and a man in a relationship to be political needs to spend less time online

            Yeah that’s nice, the rest of us have to deal with reality however. So while you’ve created a fantasy world in your head where things are just and perfect the rest of us don’t have that luxury. So let’s not pretend that things are all that simple eh?

            Drag thinks gay people are political. Politics is when a group of people use a process for decision making. A gay couple is a group of people who have decided to date each other. That’s politics. Straight people are also political. Everything is political.

            Aroace people are slightly less political than straight, gay, and bi people, but not by much, because they still have jobs and friendships and relatives.
