I would prefer this group not become political focused, ruins so many subs. Anything LGBT+ is fine, not what I’m referring to. But the right and left and antifa stuff I could strongly do without

If this makes you upset I would reevaluate your position.

It always was political, avoiding politics is a position of privilege

[–] TheBurlapBandit@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Cool then I'm privileged, keep it out.

I would recommend blocking either this entire community or just me. I have no intention of censoring myself for you.

"Apolitical" is a political position.

If you claim to support trans rights, and with them the broader struggle for gender self determination, then you ought to support the people putting their bodies on the line to defend it. Specifically the antifacists and anarchists (many of them queer themselves) who fight facism on the streets. Supporting a group targetted for genocide requires supporting the kinds of tactics that can fight the facists working to exterminate that group.

196 has consistently been a left wing forum

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

this post isn't even political

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This sub is 50/50 unfunny political memes or funny shitposts, no in-between. I haven't subscribed to it but Lemmy thinks I want to see it so here I am.

Then block it and stop complaining
