I obviously identify myself as apolitical on the internet when I have zero interest in discussing politics with strangers on the internet.

Does that make me privileged somehow?

They’re painting those who abstain from online political discussion to be privileged types who are taking advantage of the feeling of safety in their own lives and identity. I was simply refuting that caricature because I am a prime example of a person where it simply does not fit.

To be honest with you, when I want political discourse, I’m going to go and seek that out from scholars in the form of well-written books. There’s really barely any insight to be gained from the average complete moron on the internet.

idk what feeling safe has to do with it. I was homeless a few months ago, I do not feel safe in my own private life. Regardless of that–I still prefer my link aggregators to have a focus on topics which I find entertaining.

Idk about you guys, but I get ZERO entertainment value out of political discussion or discourse.

Why does that necessarily have to reflect negatively back on me? You aren’t willing to accept me just because I don’t find enjoyment in the same things that you do?
