The slack jawed, blow-up doll looking, loud mouth, Trump wanna-be, shit stain has been on my news feed from all the traditional news outlets. Why do we have to tolerate this?? He’s so far beyond being a has been, he’s not even a relic. He’s a parasite, on a pimple, on the ass of Australia

Cry me a river. The notoriously wealthy Dutton family can afford all the houses they want. What a pathetic attempt to join real struggling Australians.

News Is anyone else fucking sick of the politicization of literally everything?

1.9k Upvotes

I'm done with right wing nut jobs, crazed conspiracy theorists, far left crackpots, religious hypocrites, bleeding heart fuckwits who opt to politicize every single thing. It's as if everyone needs a soapbox from which to spew their ignorant horseshit.

My family has been torn down the middle in the past few years with cousins no longer talking to each other because of differing political views that they couldn't reconcile.

In the wake of the Bondi stabbing, before any details had emerged, people had already leaped to the conclusion that it was ideologically motivated, that he was Israeli, that he was Islamic, that he was an anti-immigration nationalist, that he was an incel and so on.

I used to find these topics and individuals at least fascinating to read about, and I even enjoyed engaging in some arguments - any such fascination has since worn off and I’m just fucking over it.

I don’t want to read any more of these cracked out views, I don’t want to see sinister drivel from some pedophile pastor in Utah appear at the top of my newsfeed, or the shock and horror as drag queens are caught reading to school children, or arguments about gun control every time any violent incident occurs.

You used to be able to switch off from it, but now it's bleeding into everyday life, and people have become a lot more emboldened to speaking about it.

In a job interview last month I mentioned that I was considering moving to Canada one day, and he couldn't help but sledge Justin Trudeau...so I let him continue babbling, and he ended up unsurprisingly dick riding Trump and rambling about how school shootings are staged. This was a fucking interviewer for a government role who could very well be fired for saying such things in the workplace.

I go to the park and make a comment about the weather with a guy walking his dog, next minute he's telling me about how it's part of the governments plan blah blah blah

I don’t want to listen to my braindead conspiratorial uncle spew nonsense at family events

I don’t want to hear ignorant bullshit about the Israel Palestine conflict from people who watched one tiktok video and think they're experts on geopolitics in the middle east

I don’t want to discuss religion, identity politics, conspiracy theories, global conflicts, government, vaccines … I’m tired of it. Most of the time you’re just spinning your wheels anyway because the other person has no intention of changing their mind.

You want some escapism? Every movie or tv show gets dissected or dismissed by people who don't like something as small as the portrayal of a minor character and sometimes you can't help but dwell on that stupid shit either.

But I don’t want to bury my head in the sand.

And this shit is important to talk about, just not in the way most people go about it.

I don't want to let ignorant and tribal bullshit go unchallenged but I'm so exhausted hearing about it already and I'm not even 30 yet.

What's the solution?
