    Why does everything need to be politicized?

    Because everything is political or adjacent to it. Everything in this world is either impacted by or is a reflection of politics.

      I mention this to my friends all the time. So many issues we’re dealing with derives from politics, so of course discourse will always return to it.

      Money Rent/housing costs Grocery costs Stagnant wages Retirement

      School shootings Police brutality Systemic racism

      Medicine Insurance R/d for treatments Quality of life

      Etc. Etc.

        Those are issues that are relevant in YOUR region so why do I have to discuss them? Politics are regional and Lemmy is a worldwide space. The majority of Lemmy is from outside of the USA, yeah we can talk a bit about US politics but not all the damn time.
