Let’s say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we’d all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I’m not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn’t have any baring whatsoever on what country you’re from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you’re incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can’t believe that needs to be explained for half the people here…

    my struggle with stuff like this is that, because i am lgbt, my existence is considered “political”.

      my existence is considered “political”.

      I wish this would give you (and others) a pause to reflect on held opinions.

        i mean, what pause can i do? i would like to exist.

        Are you saying my preference to exist in society and not be discriminated against is just an opinion to be debated? because i am very tired of debating that topic.

              Whatever belief you’re holding. You’re not going to stop existing.

              Politics is dirty. The propaganda is real and everywhere. Good propaganda pulls at “feeling” and “emotions.” If they can get you mad about something, the propaganda worked.

              If your self identity is “political,” they have won. Thats exactly what they want. They got you. They will use you to help push their agenda. Im sorry this is rough, but it is what it is. I’m gonna say it… you’re going to be used as a pawn of the left.

                Ah yes, sexual orientation isn’t political, that’s why every LGBT+ person has never had any issues with adoption, finding bathrooms that align with how they present (without committing a crime), have never been sent to a legal reeducation camp, and aren’t considered to be illegal in existence (man what was the Russian Government, a political entity’s take on LGBT+ folks and their relationships, I can’t remember).

                  What…

                  Maybe unfortunately, but the sexual orientation of folks (homosexuality) is definitely used as a tool by politicians to push certain agendas. Politicians will pander to these groups like they do to many other groups.

                  OOP said, “My existence is political.” And wasn’t wrong.
