I am wary of people using an unspecified "politics tho" like this. More than once the """PoLiTiCs""" they meant were LGBTQIA+ people simply existing.

Honestly I never got why LGBT+ is even a political thing. It’s just basic human rights. But probably my opinion will be seen as politics by some.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was my point. It's NOT political. The right is just using their existence as a scape goat.

Everything is political. This is why human rights get attacked by politicians.

If there are two or more people, there are politics. I agree with the idea that people who decry ‘politics’ often have disgusting ideas and beliefs. Its a malignant form of privilege to pretend to be able to ignore politics. It’s either that or they are just a little dim and don’t feel they can keep up in a conversation.

Talking about Trump on every other thread has nothing to do with politics either, I assume?
