It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day. - eviltoast

Let’s say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we’d all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I’m not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn’t have any baring whatsoever on what country you’re from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you’re incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can’t believe that needs to be explained for half the people here…

    Good luck getting a tankie to shut the fuck up, sadly politics (or a tenuous grasp of) is all they know.

    Poor little cretins.

        Tankies, also known as red fascists, are pretend leftists who uncritically support the USSR, Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. Their only ideological basis is “USA bad”.

        Count your lucky stars you’ve managed to stay ignorant to these folks.

        You’ll know a tankie when one is with you.

        That’s all I’m gonna say on it.

            It’s a type of person, not any one person. You won’t really be able to avoid them completely here. They’re the type of person who won’t shut the fuck up about how the U.S. is actually an authoritarian state and glazes the fuck out of places like China/Soviet Russia.

            You will likely see for yourself what I mean.

              Oh man, that sounds like deep state Russian/China operatives trying to push an agenda. Something like that?

                I can never really tell, truth be told. I just write them off as either being brainwashed or a bad actor. Same treatment either way.
