Need a politics-free safe space? It's called "going for a walk"
Lemmy has some very aggressive communists.
I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the crazy right wingers though.

I'm genuinely curious what's the difference between talking about our lives and politics?

Politics impact our lives, of course we talk about it. In the US basic human rights are being fought over. I bet if you were in danger of losing some civil rights you'd be interested in how it's going lol.
The definition of Privalage is not having to worry about politics because you are so secure in your place in our Capitalist Society Hierarchy.
Going for a walk?!?
That has surprisingly become political in the US
Leftie propaganda from big sidewalk! They want to see your precious calories burn!!
I wonder if there are any conservatives who get upset about nutrition labels when they find out the food has trans fats in it.
The pedos are grooming our Oreos!
The call for walkable cities is a fatphobic dogwhistle!!!1
France go for a walk every year, and in Russia you can be beaten to death for jogging.
My main problem is that most of the memes aren't even funny.
Make memes that are funny and then we can talk
Yeah, it's literally just circlejerking the same dumb political views with different variations of "if you don't agree you're stupid"
I saw one an hour or two ago, literally just a YouTube video of some guy screaming "if you have a penis you're a boy if you have a vagina you're a girl! Got it?!" end video

Who talks about politics on the internet? Round here we yell and fight about politics.
I'm fine with politics on the internet, but why spam it on a memes community...

Well, I saw politics@lemmy.world was US only. So I blocked it.
That's pretty much the extent of my involvement in moaning/bothering about politics here.
But deciding to go for a walk is politics too
And generally, the political discussions don't even rise to the intellectual level of shitposting.
Just reading some of the arguments between people of different political persuasions on this post would fry your brain.
Also every person who bitches about safe spaces: "ban dresses on men because it makes me feel funny"

Unfortunately, walks don't last forever. Another option is to delete your lemmy/kbin account, because everything in these places is politics or related to politics or turned into politics.

The other 2/3 are about politics, so...
The world has become political and its not for the better, but it is what it is. You don't get to choose to not be involved anymore. World doesn't work that way.
Don't wanna play the game? Go touch grass.
Imean, it was always that way... The perception that it wasn't is exactly why we're having so many problems today.
The system is very much not self-correcting.
Filter Trump and Musk. It's less than 1 in 20 after that.
I wish I could just filter posts with that shade of orange in the thumbnail. So sick of seeing his face. The anti trump people are even more obsessed with him than the trumpets.
And the other two thirds are politics posts.
You don't have to make everything political. It's okay just to have fun and like things.
