And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don’t understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

I disagree, fascism is everyone’s problem, and ignoring it only gives it power.
Yes but having spaces where we do not talk about the scum of the earth is a totally different thing from ignoring the problem.
Safe spaces are EXACTLY what people in the far right want. Not for anything they dont like, like Trans acceptance or long term ecological rehabilitation.
But absolutely 100% “hey I’m tired of seeing the hellscape of my own creation so if we could limit any troublesome ‘politics’ or ‘social agenda’ discussion that would be great.”
So no, creating a ‘safe space’ is exactly the same thing as ignoring the problem. Out of sight, out of mind, right?
Yeah I’m not convinced it is. We know a big part of the issue is voter apathy, and if you aren’t furious then you aren’t paying attention. For you a politics free space might not enable apathy, but it very clearly does for many, many other people.
If people are being force-fed horrors at every turn, even in their happy little hobby place then that will feed apathy. People can only care for so much for so long before they get burnt out and don’t have the energy to care for others or themselves anymore. In which case, many people will stop caring for others simply so they have the mental and emotional resources to care for themselves
Not horrors. Reality.
Being burnt out is a privilege you will not have when this all reaches the logical conclusion.
Only so much non US Americans can do about the orange though. . .
So, all those do not constantly need to engage with American politics.
