    the whole idea that discussing politics is lame is a neoliberal brainworm.

    Don’t discuss politics with your family, just enjoy the time! — okay weird but sure

    Don’t talk politics with your friends — what the hell why not

    No politics at work — that’s a deeply political place wtf are we doing

      Don’t yell about politics in the work place. Just complaining about straw men is tiring.

              There are virtually no current events in Germany and yelling about Americans being cray cray is not constructive or beneficial to our mental health. They are not our countrymen.

                  No. Of course not. You jump to extremes. That’s not very cash money. But it does mean that we shouldn’t base our belief in the rule of law on the American system. Foreigners are doing foreigner things all the time. You might not like it but you gotta accept that from time to time. Attention is limited and should be spent wisely.

      When people say no politics, that means no arguing. This applies to office politics, family politics, and of course government politics.

      The cranky unhappy politics wonk endlessly droning on about the evils of the world are a drain on everyone else’s joy.
