Just the other day I had to block this idiot from harassing me, claiming I was faking ignorance about Trump's stance on Israel so I could "bait Americans into a discussion", for some reason. I'm European, I don't follow presidential candidate policies very closely at all. This tool was also European, and Palestinian. I don't know why they were insisting so hard I would do this inexplicably weird thing, but maybe their emotions were running high. I'm against genocide btw, of course. ✊

I usually just block everyone that posts about politics in general. Shit is annoying af.

Politics is an annoying part of life, for sure, but I was engaged in the conversation so I guess I have some part in it.

I mean, you can (and should) pay attention to politics IRL to stay informed and make informed choices. But blocking out politics on social media, though, is quite understandable and often necessary for sanity.

Yeah, people don't carry on with sane discussions under full anonymity 😞
