    Half of these don’t apply to me. I’m not necessarily anti AI, pro Palestine, or a leftist. While the fediverse is ultimately dominated by specific groups, it’s still more diverse than we give it credit for.

        You can be against what Israel is doing without specifically being in support of Palestine. But it’s harder to explain with a short pro/anti type label.

        Palestine is a country and its possible to have a very different feeling to a government and the people.

          Explain how “I’m not in favour of the people suffering genocide” is not the same as “I’m against genocide”.

          No, it’s really not. It’s actually inappropriate in polite society to talk about politics outside of certain contexts. Here on lemmy, folks will use every excuse to shoehorn US politics into every thread and every post. It sucks, it’s like there’s nowhere to go anymore online without politics folks throwing in their two cents. I spend more time doing irl activities just to get away from it which is a shame because I grew up on BBSs and the internet and I really like communicating with people this way. Just not about that.

            Careful now, my friend. These terminally online crazies are so thoroughly in the pit that they no longer realize that there is more in the world than politics. It’s like talking to crazy religious people who will argue about how God is everywhere and in everything every chance they get. There’s no point bringing normal reasonable perspectives into a discussion like this. XD if you don’t have the same opinion as them you are a fascist or some shit xD the diversity of thought on Lemmy is as plentiful and fertile as the surface of the moon.

            Everything is politics. The decision to not talk about politics is also politics

      Here, have an upvote, I have a more leftist mindset but I’m here to exchange info and memes, rather than fight over philosophical differences.
