@DashEquals@linuxrocks.online @switchingsocial@mastodon.at @rugk @dublinux@mastodon.technology @mastalab this is... a pretty naiive point of view.

deciding not to make any political decisions is, by its nature, *also* a political decision. it's privilege that allows someone the option of being "not political". the effect is still going to be political, and you can't just absolve yourself of responsibility for it by saying "well i didn't MEAN anything political buy it", especially if your action-of-inaction is helping harm others.

@DashEquals@linuxrocks.online @switchingsocial@mastodon.at @rugk @dublinux@mastodon.technology @mastalab there are many, many people who *cannot* step away from politics. especially when the politics being discussed here are "should these groups of people be allowed to live".

viewing politics as something you can park at the door and leave behind entirely shows a pretty naiive view of what politics is, as if it's a game of table tennis instead of how society is structured.

@DashEquals@linuxrocks.online @switchingsocial@mastodon.at @rugk @dublinux@mastodon.technology @mastalab and well, if the logic is "i can't make one decision, because then i would have to make more decisions, and that would be too much work", that's not really a moral victory as much as it is just laziness. at that point you're saying that you know people are getting harmed, and you COULD not contribute to that harm, but that's too much work and you can't be bothered to help stem the tide of flourishing systems out to kill others.
