Hey Pandas, How Do You Deal With Political Crazies In Your Life?
I fully support people having their own political views, it is a basic human right to hold any view a person has. What I do not support are people who regurgitate the propaganda they have been told without any idea of knowing what they are talking about. There is a shortage of people who think for themselves, who will spend the time to reflect on any subject regardless of what public opinion tells them.Hey Pandas, How Do You Deal With Political Crazies In Your Life?
I got off ALL social and other media if possible. I chose to try to ignore the hate and ignorance.Hey Pandas, How Do You Deal With Political Crazies In Your Life?
In most circles I travel in, there is a unwritten 'NO Politics' rule. So when it happens, simply because I'm an A-hole, I like to argue with them. It doesn't matter what side you're on or what I truly believe, I will argue against you. As I'm not emotionally invested in, well... anything, it means I'm immune to political rhetoric and fervour. The more longer it goes on, the more completely bizarre my arguments will become. I'd will make a conspiracy theorist's mind blow with the s**t I will make up. I will make up laws and events that don't exist and blame it on their party. Such as 'What about that law that requires every cat owner to always have have at least one fresh cucumber when visitors are around, in case the cat attacks them! Your lot passed that law when they were last in power, instead of the law that was going to help [insert something they clearly care about]!' I'm neither left wing or right wing. All my political opinions are based on perceived logic and what I think makes sense for a better society/nation/world.Hey Pandas, How Do You Deal With Political Crazies In Your Life?
