LOL at the people still defending the "no politics" angle.

You *do* realize this was a forum thread praising "no politics" that quickly turned into a cesspool of bigoted and hateful talk, right?

THIS IS WHAT "NO POLITICS" WILL GET YOU. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN ENDLESSLY.

There is NO WAY to have "no politics" because what that *means* is "hate allowed". Your little "if we don't talk about politics everything will be fine" bullshit utopia doesn't work because the bigots *will* attack and drive everyone else away.

Hector Martin

Of course *you* have never experienced that because *you* are not part of one of the targeted groups and *you* need to start listening to those people and ditch your stupid broken approach because IT DOESN'T WORK.

All those people saying they "hate politics"? What that *means* is either:

a) I hate jews, trans people, women, etc. and I want them out of my communities (or even dead); or
b) I don't care because I am not affected and I don't want to have that conversation *covers ears*

Hector Martin

And b) only works until the people in a) find a reason to attack you and then whoops! You're a target too. Or maybe someone you care about.

So congrats, here's your solution: get rid of the a) people and then the b) people will get what they want. No politics!

Hector Martin

Until then, sorry, you get politics. It's just the default politics is a bunch of nazis and bigots taking over your community.

If you don't do anything about it, you'd better be happy with that outcome.
