I agree. I don’t think this sub should get political.
I think you’ll find across the spectrum, people are frustrated to the point where it’s not a political issue
Healthcare is only political to 1/3 of the country. Everyone else sees it for what it is: a human right
Unfortunately, human rights are political.
Everything is political. The sooner you get over this "I'm tired of politics, let me enjoy my doomscrolling" attitude, the more respectable you'll be.
No it isn't. This is how subs like r/technology got ruined, the whole thing got filled with "political post that involves technology" instead of just "technology".
Technology is one of the most politically charged topics possible. Even leaving aside big tech and AI stuff, you have the ideologues behind the open source movement, or the fact that a lot of our modern tech infrastructure is built on conflict resources and manufactured by forced labor. Politics ripple through every aspect of our lives.
Anything can be political but doesn't have to be. A good technology sub would look something like this:
And instead it became a shitflinging cesspool of:
It actually is.
Everything is politically when you have people at the top wanting to take away your rights and be able to have their followers kill you in the streets.
It’s uplifting news and has nothing to do with politics. Perhaps Reddit is a better place for you
I agree it isn't political but it's definitely not uplifting, unless you're some kind of murder cultist.
You forgot the “victim” denies medical claims for a living, bankrupting people. If you think he’s the victim, you’re the problem.
That "victim" worked at a "company" which still denies medical claims for a living, paying for the majority of claim holders medical via distribution of wealth.
The "reason" this is allowed is because "voters" keep choosing this system, and most recently voted to expand it by removing socialized healthcare for an addition 79 Million Americans.
And Luigi has done fuck all to even toss a wrench in.
Lfmao. He was the one who made those calls. Now the next CEO needs a visit by Mario.
I think you’ll find your opinion on this matter in the minority on Lemmy, but keep on blaming the “company” who aren’t run by “people” apparently.
You will never kill all the evil people in this world as long as people exist. There will always at least be you.
You don’t see me fucking anyone over for a god damned percentage.
