I still see posts with people wanting no politics. So I will leave a reminder:
1. Politics = how we make decisions about living together in society.
2. Not participating in politics = endorsing the status quo.
3. Refusing to participate in politics is a privilege. It is also a decision to abandon those in a more vulnerable position.
You might want to abstain and that's fine.
But someone has to combat injustice, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBTQ hate.
@thetitanborn I'm ok with people putting CW about politics. The question I have is what would be considered politics? Some issues can be considered political such as the environment, COVID, and the Ukraine conflict. I'm personally interested in the energy transition from a financial/investment perspective and I notice politics is a big factor in how it unfolds. These are issues that affect everyone and should be on mastodon. So what is considered political?

@michaelwong @thetitanborn the rules seem to be:
Political, activism, part of an “agenda” = “I disagree with it, and so do my political heroes.”
Just science, history, social commentary, humor, culture, economic facts, life experience, etc = “I agree with it, or at least I feel comfortable considering it and/or trust the source.”
That’s it. Feminists had it figured out half a century ago; the dividing line between “political” and non is an illusion of the comfortable.
