Judging from the downvotes, this appears to have offended some people. But I don't care. You live and breathe politics. Anytime you bring politics into any community, you are contaminating it with a disease of thought. That thought is tribal-thinking and you may be familiar with it. If you're not, try having another tiresome go-nowhere debate with someone with a different political bias than you and you might understand why that isn't welcomed in a lot of communities who wish to never have politics come in their direction.

Politics bring nothing but arguments, division, in-fighting and much more. We don't need more of that.

I'm a former Independent who has grown frustratingly tired about the political landscape of where my country has been, has gone and currently is. I have stomached a lot of bullshit over the years, since about my teenage years when I decided to feel like an adult and get involved into understanding politics and later got to vote in them.

I've voiced numerous opinions over the same years about where I stood on issues, I've voiced counter-opinions and even surgically analyzed those same stances to bring out a more evened perspective about a subject at large.

And all that getting politically involved has gotten me, is nothing but a chaotic cycle of stress, I'm bordering up on cynicism and it has not improved my life in anyway. Especially since I continue to see a society that is mostly all mouth and no action when things mattered the most. I've seen society decide to act after the fact that they've been fucked over, at a point of being too late.

I've engaged in too many arguments that amounted to nothing but for someone to feel holier than thou over and gain brownie points just for representing their stance or just being the loudest.

I have lost friends over political bullshit. I'm tired of being tugged here to support this and yanked there to support that. I'm fed up with the browbeating.

I'm just so fucking tired of this society and this world that ultimately...doesn't even know what it truly wants. Out of anything. Out of anyone. At the end of the day, people preach their choirs, but there is next to no progression afterwards.

I'm tired of my hobbies and passions devolve into political turmoil. I get a sickening feeling in my mind the moment someone feels they have to drag in current events or make yet the billionth comment about how they think Trump sucks. I get it. We get it. But I don't care anymore so check your political bullshit at the door.

Because I'm done.

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
