It’s not like I don’t care about what goes on in the world. I do. But I don’t care about your opinion. It’s not personal, it goes for both sides of the political aisle. I think both sides are full of zealots who would watch the world burn if only they could be proven right. And the thing is, if you’re one of those on the far right or the far left, and you can bring yourself to be honest about it, you know I’m right.

Someone asked me what my political beliefs are, and my response was as it always is: I think both sides are stupid. I’m a moderate, which is a rare breed these days. I also have so little interest in hearing about actual politics from people, because what’s the fucking point? You’re not going to sway me, and for sure you’re not going to be swayed, so why waste our breaths? Let’s talk sports. Then at least when we argue, it will be fun.

All talking about this shit does is widen the gap. People are so entrenched in their beliefs, and are so prone to dislike or downright hate people who disagree with them, it makes no sense to try to change their minds. All you’ll get in return is a spew of hatred and name calling. It’s a waste of time.

The dumb thing is, a lot of us agree about a lot of things. But we’re driven by the media to focus not on the things that we agree on, but on that which divides us. Why? Because division and hatred make them more money. If we’re busy fighting each other, we can’t protest too much as the ultra wealthy do whatever it is they want to do.

So while one side is hating immigrants and gay people and the other side is hating religious people and gun owners, the Elons of the world are spending their money ensuring nothing is working the way we need it to.

I don’t talk about politics, because nobody listens. I prefer spending my time more productively than talking to an immovable object.
