I’ll go first. I wish Lemmy communities existed for: destroyed tanks. Ukraine War video report. sopranos duckposting. benzodiazepines.

I will comment more as I think of them.

    Well put, but my point was that politics and religion shouldn’t ever be mentioned unless you want to start an argument. It’s just not a thing in civilised countries. You just don’t talk about it because nothing you say will change anyone’s beliefs about either subject in any way whatsoever, and it’s just antagonistic.

    Americans will bring politics or religion into meme threads, shitposts, casual conversation, comic strips etc etc

    If you’re not on a political sub or a news sub, you’re here for a laugh, and fuck me neither of those subjects is ever humourous

    Pls stop 😅

      Firstly, I agree that there is a time and a place and a lot of people seem to not know the boundaries.

      That being said, bringing up a controversial subject isn’t always just about a fight. It might seem like it is, but sometimes we just want to discuss an issue.

      Also, even arguing has its merit. While you’re not going to change the mind of the person you’re arguing with, you might sway the opinions of bystanders.

      But yeah, I agree keep it out of shitposts.
