Right. Like I’m not strictly one thing, I don’t agree with everything. I am literally just me. Socialist at best

So this post is just saying you’re apolitical? Congrats? Good for you?

Socialist at best? Girl you gotta at least read before you can claim to be a socialist. You can’t even handle the news

yes it's uncomfortable for everyone to look at what's happening today, and it's good that it's uncomfortable. it's still important to know and form opinions on it tho

Uncomfortable is a very light word. I’d say more like borderline suicidal ideations for me but I guess

I have political beliefs. That’s what people in this thread don’t understand. My political beliefs don’t fit into any of the left wing political parties. Which is the point of this post

Do you read? Do your own political research?

I despise the 2 party system I think that also has something to do with it but that doesn’t mean you don’t stand for anything because you don’t like political labels.

Idk my mom says the exact same thing. That news and politics give her anxiety. Shes mostly just anti trump bc he’s crass and unhinged but it’s sooooo frustrating trying to talk with her about like what’s happening in Palestine for example. Or what our country represents in the world. Shes just silent and has no opinion. I still love her and know she’s a good person but it’s frustrating as hell when we’re in late stage capitalism and now more than ever we need to be educated and class conscious

I am very very vocal on Palestinian rights, Palestinian right to return, and Palestinian statehood 😭😭 and it’s not just an “anxiety” thing. Political shit has almost sent me into psychosis and has caused me to have suicidal ideations. I have been institutionalized twice and I don’t want to again. Which is why I try to avoid it. I still have political beliefs obviously, but I’m not spending my day reading the news and researching political stuff because I would be miserable

They said that it doesn’t mean you don’t stand for anything because you don’t like political labels. Which you implied when you said I was apolitical before because I don’t like political labels
