As far as I’m concerned, everybody takes politics way too seriously.
 
Government is a good thing. The ability to form civilizations is what separates us from the other animals.
 
But politics and bureaucracy has done very little good overall.

Politics is a serious thing to pretty much anyone that’s lived long enough to be affected by it. The decisions and ideology of our leaders affects everyone, and we many times fear decisions that cause us great harm in the short and long term. This is why we debate politics, and this is why we get angry at people about politics.
 
We don’t agree on how to run the world as a species, and many of us share views that are polar opposites to each other. We fear any idea that puts us at a disadvantage, especially if that disadvantage result in our harm or death.
 
Unfortunately, people are taking sides instead of discussing a compromise because people are driven by sensationalist media that often uses wording and bias to create fear and demonize an opposing side. It’s furthering a divide and making any political discussion toxic to those that wish to not engage in political discussion at all. Common sense is becoming less common in the face of radicalism, and everyone is scared for the future where only one group of people will prosper at the expense of everyone else.
 
This is a bit of rambling, but it’s my response to your last line. Basically, any time you challenge the core ideas of another person, they may not respond pleasantly, especially when they fully believe what they believe is the truth.

Only if inordinately incensed people refuse to yield to common sense and just stick around in a conversation they clearly don’t want to be a part of even if nothing’s keeping them from simply doing something else with their time. But I’m sure we have nobody like that in this thread at all and we’re all just having a great time, because it literally only takes a click to remove unwanted notifications of a conversation that annoys you and there’s absolutely no reason not to do it other than your own stubbornness. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
…That, and people who take politics way too seriously.

Hell, your servers aren’t exactly from the U.S and you apply to British/French? laws!
 
And freedom of speech isn’t exactly a guarantee in Europe…
 
Censor political discussion all together.
 
I’d be against it, but it is a possibility.

It is, but it’s not a thread about general politics. Unfortunately, political debates explode on pretty much any comment section for any image containing a politician or political viewpoint.

That’s not how being proven right works, you need actual evidence and facts something you haven’t provided, if that’s all it took then Nittany proved me right already. You’re not even spelling my name right and you can see it right there.

Yeah the discussions here aren’t really off topic if the picture itself is just a political mouthpiece.
 
I can’t help but find it a little humorous that one mod says it’s fine and then another says it’s not, I mean if they don’t want us to talk about this then alright no big deal, just find it kinda funny.

Dave33333 is not wrong about the discussion here having gotten off topic. Comment threads should be used to state your opinion of an image. Please have all other discussions someplace else.
 
@angrybrony  
This is true. If you want to discuss politics, please do it somewhere else. There are numerous political forums and websites that specialize in it.

This is not your image, and you are not a mod. If the discussion on this image disturbs you so much that seeing it happen annoys you, there’s a very simple solution. That’s why the site allows you to unsubscribe from comment threads in the first place.
 
You don’t get to force people to stop talking just because you don’t like where the conversation is taking place. Please just unsubscribe, and let bygones be bygones. Nobody’s getting hurt here; the only issue is you.
