    Why does everything need to be politicized? No one gives a flying fuck if you’re a leftist, unless you’re a Leftist and no one gives a fuck if you’re a right winger unless you’re a right winger. Jesus christ the US Politics are absolute fucking cancer.

      Why does everything need to be politicized?

      Because everything is political or adjacent to it. Everything in this world is either impacted by or is a reflection of politics.

        I mention this to my friends all the time. So many issues we’re dealing with derives from politics, so of course discourse will always return to it.

        Money Rent/housing costs Grocery costs Stagnant wages Retirement

        School shootings Police brutality Systemic racism

        Medicine Insurance R/d for treatments Quality of life

        Etc. Etc.

          Those are issues that are relevant in YOUR region so why do I have to discuss them? Politics are regional and Lemmy is a worldwide space. The majority of Lemmy is from outside of the USA, yeah we can talk a bit about US politics but not all the damn time.

      It’s considered ‘left’ to support queer and trans rights, and there are a good number of people that seem to have a problem with that whether my queer self is political or not.

        Guaranteeing that every individual has the same rights independently of their sex, sexual orientation, race, skin color and so on… Shouldn’t be neither left nor right. It just should be. It’s just common sense.

        There are plenty of another topic for the left vs right to debate. Leave identity politics out of it and just let people live like they want.

          But like if people keep intentionally misgendering someone, trans people aren’t gonna wanna be in that environment. Those people will feel more safe here than reddit
