    I just hope the elections in June don’t get the EU a parliament of right wingers dead set on “smaller government” and “free market”. Given that EU citizens are just humans and very influenced by the republicans of the USA, it wouldn’t surprise me though. Let us enjoy what could’ve been while 30% of the population ignores its democratic duty and 60% give in to USAian + Russian propaganda 🍷

      I hope so too but we have to admit that it is hard enough for a lot of people to get by so besides going to protests and talking, I cant fret too much about it anymore or I risk permanent damage to my life which wont bring anyone any good.

      I have since blocked all american politics and topics that I cant change and dont have the energy to advocate for. My family and community need me for a couple years longer so I have to choose my fights. Sorry if thats not enough for you.

        I have blocked American politics too. Just take and evening out of your life to look at which parties will be on the ballot and their election program points (just bullet points), take another hour on election day and that’s it. There’s nothing more to it.

        It happens every 4 years. Is that really too much?

          Since I‘m not in the US, my times are a little different but I go vote and I go protest (which is more than most) if stuff is bad. But reading bad things every day sends me into defeatism so I need to keep it away from me so I can stay being productive (not only work but also live and vote)

            Then you’re doing fine 👍 I know many people who don’t follow politics because it’s theatre, and no world news because it’s just depressing. Totally understandable. You haven’t given up and still vote, which is good. I can only hope you vote for the good of all, but at least you show up.

            Have a good day, mate.

              Well, thats quite a broad term. As a minority member, I feel responsible to vote for equality and inclusion. Thats not great for those who would like „a strong leader“ or „just let the markets decide“ but I consider going against others‘ opinion less of an offense than going against their personhood.

              Edit: you have a good one as well. :) Edit2: do you put that license in manually or automatically?

                  Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

                  Thats actually a very interesting and healthy take imo. I‘m an altruist from birth and need to take better care of myself. But otherwise I‘m on the same track.

                  Also, I‘m strongly against the thing they left out (probably to not polarise, which makes the point come across easier), people still trying to get a bigger pie than anybody else.

                  But I guess both approaches are helpful.
