People who say they’re not political in 2026 are actually trump supporters too cowardly to call themselves what they are
Another 30% incoming!
Ain’t over yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had double in less than a month. Oh…and wait until we get fuel “taxed” when corporations add the rising fuel costs to the purchase price of goods.
Try 40% in 5 days
I got into it with someone claiming there is nothing wrong with being apolitical about a month back on asklemmy. I argued apolitical people abdicate their responsibility as citizens in a democracy and are a significant reason we’re in this mess. Ended up cutting off replying to them after a bunch of strawman bs back from them.
I hope that guy is having fun with the cost to fill up right now.
What if he doesn’t drive
Well then I guess I’ll have to savor the knock on effect of increasing costs to transport all goods to be smug
The people who don’t care that food is getting unaffordable but freak out when gas goes up a few cents are always amusing.
Gas going up will also make food go up even more now due to added costs of shipping.
It’s really important when you drive an SUV the size of an M1 Abrams and it gets 10 miles to the gallon
Those tanks get gallons to the mile.
When your car refuses to work without food but you can, and you need your car to get to the place that gives you money to buy the car (and hopefully you) food … it happens.
Petrol monkeys need gas to live.
I’ll wager a guess that person didn’t vote.
I’ll wager a guess that person voted Trump and said they didn’t vote.
Does anyone know what is up with this trend? I notice so many people starting with “I’m not political” and then get super political. I notice this paired with rogansphere references too.
“I’m not political” is an expression of privilege. It disingenuously pretends to be ideologically neutral, but it’s not.
“I’m not political” usually translates to “I am wilfully ignorant of news and happenings”
Which is only possible for those who can afford to be, because their privilege insulates them from the consequences.
It’s the new “I’m not racist but”
I’m not racist, but I do think peanut butter is delicious.
Even the average MAGAtt knows that their views are not socially acceptable. So they’ll pose as “centrist” or “not political” to avoid the pushback.
Belief that your stance isn’t political is a lot like narcissism.
Idk if that helps.
Tell me more 😊
Narcissists tend to be incapable of understanding or accepting or acknowledging others have a view.
Folks who are “not political” just think “I’m normal” and being incapable of recognizing your beliefs are their own bias unto themself is pretty narcissistic as a behavior.
I’m not saying they are narcissists, but the behavior is awfully similar in this one regard.
Unless someone is truly just not involved in politics in any way and says they aren’t political insomuch as they aren’t involved. But the “I’m not political my ideas are just normal” is what I’m referring to.
Much like people who think they have no accent, race, or sexual orientation because they see theirs as the default
Apolitical people are chuds that want to get laid. Moderates are chuds who are mad that chuds are saying the quiet part out loud.
