Like just ignoring/disengaging the news media and people on social media who obsess over it can give you a feeling of being at peace with the world. Leaving social media spots where it's a big thing, not letting that be a part of your life, once you do that you realize how politics really has no power over you or any real impact on your life.

But politics does currently have a direct impact on ur life if politicians are locking u down

Never cared about politics pre Rona, but I do currently

The reason people are so political now is precisely because of how much impact it has on their lives. You're not wise, just ignorant or scared.

Honestly politics only has as much power over you as you allow it to. If you don't pay attention to the chit that people are reeeing over you realize how it really has nothing to do with you.

there's definitely a benefit to ignoring politics but, ya know, you gotta stand up for your country when needed

Pfft that's some smooth brained chit mang. The reason people are so political now is because of social media and news obsession.

I don't agree, politicians influence the value of the dollar, the economy, and your countries demographics. Sweeping in the rug doesn't solve the problem.

If it was any other year I’d more or less agree

But politics essentially has all my classes online, Uni gym closed, can’t be social at all. Can’t just ignore that

Unless you are a politician or someone very important chances are there is nothing you can do to influence politics.

Just wear your mask..just two more weeks...just to flatten the curve. Just take the vaccine mang

Just live your life, don't let the chit that everyone else is stressed out about effect you.

Whenever I ignore the news for a week I feel 100x more sane.

It most certainly does have an impact on everyones life, keep coping

I disagree, if you work in the tech field, you should be cautious how your government regulates non-American people to come and work in your country on H1B visas. It's actually imperative how western countries regulate foreign working visas, since what could happen is wages in the tech field can become over saturated. These people can drive the wages in your field low. In Canada for example, Indian people have driven the wages in the IT field to low standards. Even Indian born Canadians are drowning in the sea they voted for.

Bro, our governor is mandating that when we eat out to wear a mask IN BETWEEN BITES..a little hard to ignore the political circus this is.

Local politics have a lot bigger impact on your life than anything happening on a national level. It would for sure make me a certified boomer once it happens, but I could actually see myself getting involved in a non-toxic area of local politics.

I've been anti-politics for probably 10 years now and did pretty well until not being able to avoid it this year. Every newspaper I read went from having a couple light political stories impacting business or the economy to 2/3rds of the front page covered with in your face garbage.

The group chat with my friends from college went from being all talk about to fuking bitches and other various forms of bullchit to politics and me basically threatening to disown them for polluting the chat with obnoxious politcal bull****.

I'm leaving the US for a week in a few days, and it's going to be the most necessary mental health break I've ever had. Anybody who used COVID as an opportunity to push political chit into my psyche is dead to me. They're all no longer part of my network. And this includes one of my brother's significant others. I'm reaching the age where I will no longer see them more than 1-2 times per year anyways, but I think I'll go at least a couple years before seeing her again.

your vote will never matter

your politicians will never tell the truth

you'll never know what is actually happening or who is actually pulling the strings

life is a 1-player game and the only way to lose is to be unhappy unnecessarily during it

apathy and indifference should be your sword and shield

trolling should be your special move

thank me later

taking a week or two to disengage from everything refreshes you so much

Well said.
