Caring about politics is cringe

Shitpost

UMMMM, don't ya'll know it's cringe to care about politics?

I mean what are you doing exactly? Just sitting around going "hur dur, I have an idea of how to improve my society, durrrrr". Like yeah whatever dude, it's not like you have any say how these rules go. Are you a president? A senator? Yeah didn't think so - only smart and competent people get to be politicians. Everyone knows that! Well, everyone except you I guess, you dummy.

The based thing is to be a pragmatist which is what normal people like me do: when the laws get changed, you just follow them!

Oh, did a law get changed in a way you don't like? Well so what? Sometimes it rains and we don't like that but you just have to get on with your life - there's nothing to be done about it.

And talks of revolution? Don't be ridiculous. No revolution has ever lead to any kind of improvement, ever. They do nothing but destroy societies. Not very pragmatic.

No, what I see on this sub is a bunch of children who haven't accepted the basic lesson most adults give, which is to just shut up, keep your head down, and work. Working will set you free!

But let's get down to brass tacks. As a pragmatist I don't throw all of politics away, it is a necessary evil after all. If one has to partake in politics the obvious, adult, and most pragmatic option is to just vote the way your political party tells you. I mean they would know about politics wouldn't they? It's like their job or whatever. Do you really think you know better than those guys? Yeah whatever buddy

So in summary and conclusion, if you care about politics more than your party tells you to care about politics then you are a child who has yet to surrender to authority like a real adult. Eventually you will grow out of it and you will love whatever the algorithm gives you.
