Can’t you see? Most Americans can’t be bothered to acknowledge reality if it gets in the way of their cat memes or inconveniences them.
Oh wow! Go handle it then. Be the change. Vote, protest, etc.
People that bitch about politics being in everything are often the ones who need to see it and understand it the most. We have a future dictator in office who is kidnapping citizens and starting another pointless war, while tanking the economy to new levels, but mUh CoMmUnItIeS…

I vote early every single chance. Lemmy is an echo chamber, you’re preaching to the choir. I just think there’s a healthy difference between being informed, and letting it seep into every crevace of your life. And, if I wanted political memes I’d go look at politicalmemes.

You know, I agree with much of this. It is an echo chamber here. There is a limit to the amount of political discourse one can handle daily as well. I really, truly understand, because it drives me up a wall as well sometimes.
But it’s impossible to escape politics when “politics” is our government doing fascism. The echo chamber we are in leans pretty left and typically hates fascism. It’s escalated now that we have bombed the fuck out of Iran on behalf of Israel. We are really, truly the bad guys now and sometimes that means interrupting memes. 😕
