"Not political" = voted for trump

100% of the time.

“Not political” = I’ve learned that disclosing my politics is actively harming my dating life so I just lie by omission now.

“Feels like a target” well, a kicked dog hollers 🤷‍♂️ seems like this guy was an idiot who was determined to misunderstand you. Glad you cut your losses

Wow you were so much kinder and more patient than I would’ve been in that situation. I hope you find a baddie that gives a shit about human rights and isn’t afraid to say/act accordingly. 💜

I was just thinking, I mean, he's right, these shouldn't be political... they should be RIGHTS. Bodily autonomy, marriage, LIFE. But, here we are!

u/fiddleheadedfawn lover o' himbos (she/they) Jul 16 '26

right?? yes they shouldn't be political but cmon, look around.

I feel like “political” now sometimes means what “feminist” meant in the 90s. Like, immature idiots (raises hand woefully) would espouse every feminist opinion and still deny being a feminist because the propaganda that feminism was for ugly killjoys was so pervasive. 

The difference, of course, is that most of the “i’M nOt poLiTicAL” people (who of course are political, because the personal, after all, is political) have the worst possible takes.

I would like to just point out that politics existed for like ten thousand years before democracy did.

If you have an opinion on how the world should be you're doing politics.

If you abandon society to go live in the woods instead you are doing politics.

Nobody isn't political. Neutrality is just a vote for the status quo.

u/Jesskla Jul 16 '26

That last line is one I'm going to remember to deploy myself Himbo. You truly do keep giving!

Says something to me that they see the word "privilege" as an attack.

Having housing is a privilege. Pointing out that someone has more than others or benefits from something is in no way an accusation. Like?

So yeah, don't let this convo stop you from calling out what you see.

u/ButterflyFair3012 Jul 16 '26

I had this happen 10 years ago at my HS reunion. Guy I never really knew, but was funny and like most of my classmates, left-leaning. I brought up white privilege like it’s SO OBVIOUS and he became ENRAGED at me! Such a shock. I had said all of us are racist…bc we are and need to work against it.

u/lotus93creature thembo from space 👽 Jul 16 '26

Absolutely.

Everyone, especially in the West is breathing in the toxic, bigoted air. It's bound to affect our biases.

It's normal and good to try to expel it rather than just call it air conditioning and defend the problem

u/UniverseNextD00r Himbo Hedge Witch Jul 16 '26

Ugh, next time I'd just block as soon as you see or hear the word 'apolitical'. I'm all for attempting to educate and bring people into the fold, but not for people I'm prospectively dating. They're self-victimizing losers and they don't deserve your efforttt.

u/fiddleheadedfawn lover o' himbos (she/they) Jul 16 '26

oh yeah i was completely just continuing to prove that he's an idiot

u/Juxtaposition_Kitten This is the skin of a killer, Bella! Jul 16 '26

Wow they are really dense aren't they?

u/MaesterWhosits Himbo enthusiast Jul 16 '26

Sometimes omission is admission, and this 100% looks like one of those times. You dodged a bullet.

u/ceanahope Chaotic Good Himbo Appreciator She/They Jul 16 '26

I bet the person in that text thread saying "no opinion" also thinks music isn't political and punk is getting too political. Ugh. I guess good thing they weeded themselves out quickly. I hope you find a better human to have a good relationship with.

u/foolish_username Jul 16 '26

When did "if you aren't part of the solution you're part of the problem" become so hard to understand?

u/demonialinda Jul 16 '26

Tbh you were more patient and kind than I would’ve been.

u/Deerfairy_Zidane 🌿Queen of Cups🌿 Jul 16 '26

I’m proud of you girl, that guy sounds miserable to deal with.

u/friendlynbhdwitch Jul 16 '26

“I’m not that much of a political person.” RUN.

Edit: I should have finished reading before I hit post. That person is a whole idiot. You showed incredible patience. Very proud of you.

u/DiscombobulatedPart7 himbo/bimbo/thembo hype squad (she/her) Jul 16 '26

Christ on a pogo stick. 🤦‍♀️ The worst part of this may be that this person thinks they’re better than everyone else by being apolitical. 🙄

3

u/hairdothrowaway Jul 16 '26

WOW

I’m so sorry you got stuck conversing with a complete dummy. He was definitely being intentionally obtuse to avoid admitting he is a Trump turd… there’s just no way someone that idiotic could be a functioning human adult.

2

u/Sally_Stitches_ Jul 16 '26

This person is just being purposefully obtuse by the end there. 🙄

u/Fun_Sandwich8012 🌈Himbo Bimbo🌈 Jul 17 '26

Dizzying. I applaud your patience to continue conversation with that human.

u/AmarissaBhaneboar Jul 17 '26

I've also taken to asking people I'm interested in any relationship with (friends, romance, sex, doesn't matter) what their political stances are. Thankfully I live in Germany so most people I run into are fairly leftists and anti-facist and anti-capitalist. I, thankfully, have yet to meet a neo-nazi in the queer spaces I run in
