has anyone figured out how to talk about politics without being annoying? asking for my me

[–] underisk@hexbear.net 34 points 5 days ago

Yes. Make a video game, or other piece of art about it and then watch as people fail to recognize the metaphor.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago

Yes. Literally just talk about it as if it was gossip or celeb trash.

Oh so you want to know about "politics", do you?

I just get all anti-capitalist in like every conversation, I'm probably annoying

Don't try and bring it up necessarily. People come up with grievances about the reality of capitalism all the time. Empathise with them, and offer them an alternative framework that proves it's not their personal failure that made rent unaffordable, work-life miserable, and the world climate collapse.
