this is such a good video. Not news for anybody here, but it's a good explanation for why "I don't want to talk about politics" is so infuriating.

The flipside to this is that it doesn't really accomplish anything to just talk to your friends about how bad everything is constantly.

Like it's bad if someone just refuses to ever talk or think about such topics, but it's also kind of weird and pointless to just repeatedly talk about how bad climate change is or whatever. No one is really being helped by that.

I will be honest, at this point, it looks too obviously like a parody. Yet being familiar with Rosenberg and his Copium SubStack, (which he unironicly calls Hopium Chronicles :suicide: ), it's 100% real.
It's also really funny they chose Mark Hamil to sponsor/boost their poo poo support to Isreal, it probably means they realized it's not just the "kids" and that they need to rally a more genxer / 40+ years old people to their cause. Not sure they get that generation. Tom Hanks is next i suspect.

I am willing to agree to 'not talk about politics' with people who I know agree with me politically. In fact I never really need to, because everyone who agrees with me politically finds political chat deeply depressing and so there's a shared understanding that we only 'need' to talk about it if there's some other element to it (like someone needs to vent and wants a sympathetic ear, or someone has a charity they want to pass the hat for, or there's some breaking news to discuss).

I am not willing to 'not talk politics' with nazis so that they don't have to confront that they are nazis because they feel bad when they recognise they are nazis, which is what the guy in the video is talking about.

Any time someone says they don't talk politics etc, it's an immediate giveaway that they have lovely political views that largely center around the status quo staying intact at best and shameful reactionary/right wing poo poo at worst that they don't want polite company to know about. gently caress em if you can't handle someone saying to you maybe women should be able to make their own choice.

sometimes people don't want to talk politics because they don't want to reveal their own depravity. sometimes they just don't want to talk politics with you, specifically. maybe try being less of a weirdo.

not wanting to talk politics is fine but enforcing that on groups of people is not fine. that's how you get your space taken over by default by privileged bullies who say everything that calls out bullying is politics

That video isn't about either group, though. It's about people who've already revealed their depravity and who already know you think they are depraved but still want to pretend a friendship can exist under those conditions. He's talking about a guy who supports the Gazan genocide and thinks they can still make small talk about videogames despite that.

Everyone making the jump from this guy specifically saying 'I refuse to agree not to talk about politics with people I know are nazis' to 'well, but sometimes people bully me and make me feel bad and I think that's not okay' are telling on themselves imo.
