I just realised I spent the last 10 minutes reading the politics forum and it didn't benefit me in any way whatsoever and if anything, put a net negative on my evening.

Is this something you take part in? And if so, why are we like this?

I venture into more forum subs than I used to years ago, but there no way I'd hit up politics and virus seems to be some sort of weird medical sub now?

I have spent way too long watching Punch, the monkey this week 💔

It’s done me no good but I’m feeling a bit better now things are looking better for him 😭

Glad to hear things are on the up for him! 🫂

I only looked in there to see if there was anything on John Davidson but just got sucked in by such asinine nonsense

I (still) spend way too much time reading AITA stuff. My eyes continue to roll so far back in my head that I start to worry they won't come back.

I do look at the politics forum...

I've read some of those! I do wonder how much is actually truthful and not just the point of view of one person though. I do find it funny when it's like "My boyfriend insulted me, set my clothes on fire and made plans to kill the King. AITA for leaving him?" 😂

Wait, I think I did hear about this! Didn't the monkey get given a teddy as well because that's what he could love? 🥺

Reading a few posts, I think you'll get the absolute opposite spectrum of biased opinions 😂

Having never even glanced, I can imagine it's a great place for more controversial opinions to feel safe expressing there away from wider audience diluting them.

The politics forum is a ceaseless garbage fire of incandescent rage...

I don't recommend going in there...

Unless you thrive on conflict.

Never in my life till this last year or so, without getting into any debate or arguments here over what I’m about to say, I utterly detest this current government more than I’ve ever hated anything in my life, and my phone seems to know this and things designed to annoy me appear on Facebook and Instagram all the time. I long to return to the days when I didn’t even know what was going on in the world for most my adult life I existed in my own little bubble never reading, listening or watching the news

Maybe your phone made you detest this government more than anything in your life 👀

You want to remove that source of misery?

Quit social media.

While Labour (especially in their current "New Labour" guise) aren't particularly leftwing, the parties and other worldwide beneficiaries to the right of them put a lot of money and effort into plugging social media with that kind of rhetoric.

It's just the new state of the world at this point.
