chuds and non-chuds debate what it means when people (chuds) say to keep politics out of their hobbies ft. paradox of intolerance and sitting at a table with a nazi
I think most people just do not want to deal with actual real politics, when engaging with their hobby that is meant to reduce stress. Obviously, the table politics of my Oath group does not affect my mental health as much as my actual governments recent decisions.
This! Games are often an escape from reality.
I don't stop being a trans person in Mississippi while I'm playing Ark Nova. My very existence has been made political.
Reddit becomes the most insufferable place as soon as Trump becomes President
I'm not sure how it would even be possible. People can talk and interact freely.
"Keep politics out of XYZ" is such an inherently political thing to say too lol
Ten times out of 10 it's really "keep the politics I disagree with out of XYZ" with the person saying it not realizing that they don't view the things they agree with as political.
I always thought when pekole talk about politics or work, their friendship is oretty shallow and have nothing else to talk about.
My buddies and I play board games all the time and politics hasn't come up in 20 years. We have fun and interesting things to talk about.
I don't know. If you and your closest friends don't feel comfortable discussing your deeply held beliefs and the concerns you have for the direction some people want to take the country in your name... Maybe they're just buddies.
Politics are almost as boring as religion.
We have other interests that keep the conversation going.
You are grabbing at straws.
ohhh good point and straws are super bad for the environment and sea turtles. i'm sorry.
Unironically, this comment is pretty much what your post looks like.
No it's not, there's a difference between playing a game and yelling at someone about something political. That's what people mean.

Oh, you're burned out? YOU'RE burned out?!
Motherlover, I've spent the last 16 years listening to you and people like you scream the most vile, moronic, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic shit imaginable while you prostrated at the feet of the worst possible people on the face of the fricking planet and constantly vote against your own self-interest, despite the fact that your entire worldview is wholly based on your own cruel selfishness, all because we rightfully made fun of you mouth-breathing dipshits for supporting Peepee Cheney's useful idiot for 8 years and the literal propaganda you lack the cognitive capacity to realize is lying to you nearly every second of every minute of every hour of every day, convincing you that the black man who actively did shit to benefit you was tantamount to the literal devil and you smooth-brained, lead-addled, weak fricking crybabies whined and moaned every time we rightfully called you on your half-witted hypocrisy, all while you learned nothing because you lack the capacity to learn anything, all in service of LITERAL NAZIS and we've had to watch it in slow-fricking motion, all while screaming at you, "Stop! You are doing very dumb and bad things!" and every last window-licking one of you glass-eyed numbskulls threw us to the fricking wolves rather than admit you might be wrong about anything ever.
To whoever wrote that they were burned out because they had their fricking fee-fees hurt in a board game subreddit? Go frick yourself with a Monopoly board. You don't get to be burned out when it's your fricking fault to begin with.
