That's not to say I don't ravenously consume stuff available, I just avoid politics. It can be very weird in dealing with people that are super into politics.
I like participating in this forum precisely because it mostly avoids politics and involves my peers.
It used to be that if you just wanted to avoid topics like pay, religion or especially politics, you could.
Once you said buzz off, people wouldn’t bother you.
At some point, people stopped not bothering about it and no amount of shushing or changing the subject world work.
Somewhere over the past few years, it’s morphed again, and now people actually can get downright hostile when you say you don’t talk about politics.
