I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Yeah, there seems to be different definitions of politics going on here.
Yeah cause one is what it means literally and the other is what it means within the context of a social situation.
If we were in the middle of ww2 before America joined and you said you don’t care about politics when the subject of the war and holocaust was happening people could naturally be upset and offended by that.
I mean, do you have any opinion at all on roe v wade being overturned?
yeah I wasn’t a fan of that happening.
Me either. In fact I would be pretty confused and angry if I was having a conversation about how much it sucks and then someone chimed in that they don’t care about politics. Confused and angry because don’t they know people who this hurts? Realize that it’s hurting children? AFAB who endured SA, including children??? Etc.
Now if someone said I don’t pay attention to politics so I wasn’t aware of it and I’m not aware of any nuance of why it’s bad, that’s more understandable. Ignorance vs potential lack of empathy. That’s the difference between the two phrases and if you do care about some of these issues that happen to be political crosshairs rn, maybe now you can understand how that statement can be interpreted different ways based on context of the conversation and why you might want to adjust your phrasing if that is not the message you intended.
Does it make sense now?
I don’t care anymore.
I’m sorry I was such a burden to you trying to answer your question that it warranted such a rude response.
