A good step would be shutting the forget up about politics for a change

I agree, but you see, you're on the Blockland forums.

Normalized? It's been happening for a while I think you need to chill out. I'm not trying to normalize or push anything.

Right, you were itching to go off on your little political tangents first chance you got, like everyone else does. You all have something to say or some disingenuous bullstuff like this.

Every thread becomes a soapbox platform for your bickering and it's frankly getting old, especially because everyone arguing is to goddamn stupid to reach a reasonable conclusion.

LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUUMBLLLLLLE

Snip

I mean don't get me wrong. I'm upset about the soapboxing too, but is it really going to change any time soon? There are always going to be those people saying outrageous things for it's own sake and there are always going to be people who will respond to that. What Taya is saying is "why the sudden outrage to something that isn't new in the slightest?"

Hard to avoid given that the thread started out that way almost immediately with barely a foot out the door. I'm not against what you're saying, my frequency posting on this forum has reduced because of threads just being your general poo-slinging contest. I didn't normalize this and I certainly don't want it this way all the time. I won't deny being a part of the problem sometimes, its really hard to help myself when someone is already up front right now trying to demonize the left and there's another one trying to demonize the right.

If I had a lever that removed the soapboxing, you bet your ass I would love to throw it. Not trying to make you angry but thats honestly outside of my control.

If people sick of it start giving people stuff more often for it, yes it totally will.

Except that adding fuel to the fire is just as bad as starting it in the first place.

people unhealthily revolve their entire lives around politics so when something like this happens they can't fathom the idea that it isn't about that
this thread is a good example of it

When I first joined the forums it wasn't this bad. I actually miss it being more mild. I was 13 in 08'. It's interesting to see that many years later its come down to mostly politics threads.

If you think politicizing issues is justifiable because democrats would do it too, you're actually part of the problem

I wasn't justifying it, i was just saying thats what people would do and it inevitably would happen.
