Dunking on the right isn't "usa politics", it is a pastime that can be enjoyed by queer ppl and allies worldwide and is relevant in all countries :)

I feel like there's more posts complaining about politics posts than politics posts

_MusicJunkie OP ,

Fair. I would claim that's saying something by itself.

I let myself get drawn into it sometimes, but I agree. Not against having any politics in here because that's impossible, but it's gotta be alienating to come here and see nothing but stuff about the US, and it's only going to get worse the closer we get to November

_MusicJunkie OP ,

It's not just here, it's everywhere. That's why people like me are so sour about it.

Understandable. And I'm sure I'm just as guilty as anyone, but this is an important perspective. We US people tend to make everything about us.

What politics would you prefer, then?

Stuff that's actually novel and interesting and not the same rehashed culture war from across the Atlantic.

"But but we've gotta organise over here and tell people" -- yes, granted. Do that in a place where it has an impact. If you want a choir to rehearse with I bet you can find one locally, no need to pretend to preach to 196 of all places.

"But there's anti-electoralists in 196 that could be convinced" -- no. They're either tankies or otherwise have their ass so far up their "principled" theoretical asses that they couldn't spot praxis if it hits them over the head. As the Stoics say: Never attempt the impossible, for you will surely be disheartened. You will be ineffective, you will blame gods and men, and you will be miserable. Instead, do the possible.

All that's possible nowadays is shitting up the planet to bring closer death camps for queers.

Considering the options I'd rather we go gently into the night as philosophers/shitposters who dreamt of a better world.
