    Not caring about politics is a privilege of the powerful. All this shows is that you are lucky enough to be in control of your own life. Congratulations! Me too! No one is actively working to hurt me either.

    I care about politics because not everyone is able to have that privilege, and they should.

      And you are fully free to exercise that privilege, just don’t shove it in my face and make it your life’s mission to make this guy care about it as much as you do.

      I had friends who told me they didn’t vote, and you know what I said? " Ah okay whatever"

      And this concept fucking baffles people

              No lmao I’m just saying there’s the whole paradox that I have issue with, everyone who gets uppity about people not voting always spend more time arguing that they should vote than voting themselves.

              I’ve made my stance clear, I just don’t want to, so no use arguing with me about It, but time and time again that’s how it goes

        So I shouldn’t tell other people what to do, but it’s ok for you to tell me what to do?

        Sometimes it’s ok to read your post before hitting send.
