      In Canada it’s starting to become “political” since our morons are egged on by the morons down south.

        It’s so exhausting, they treat it like a sport, it’s not about making anyone’s lives better it’s all just about their team winning

          It’s people creating their own victories because they’re lacking their own.

      Politics used to be something people engaged in. Now politics is the core to a lot of people’s identities, which means disagreement or debate is perceived as a personal attack and people will embrace a tremendous amount of cognitive dissonance to avoid being wrong.

      I despite this “trend” of considering just simple opinions and basic statements as “political”. It’s been watered down and turned into a meaningless tag.

            Aye, I wonder if cavemen cared what some minority in the tribe might be doing or just shrugged their shoulders about it. Is it human nature to find it hard to accept? Oh weren’t the Romans ok with it, that was a while ago.
