    I got into it with someone claiming there is nothing wrong with being apolitical about a month back on asklemmy. I argued apolitical people abdicate their responsibility as citizens in a democracy and are a significant reason we’re in this mess. Ended up cutting off replying to them after a bunch of strawman bs back from them.

    I hope that guy is having fun with the cost to fill up right now.
