    Left leaning YouTubers, although, just like anything in the mouth of right wingers, it’s losing its meaning because it’s used for anyone they disagree with.

      “Left Leaning” as far as I can tell today is anyone that doesn’t base a large chunk of their personality on hating or being against vulnerable groups of people.

      I am not a right winger if that was what you were implying. I just dislike seeing political videos (regardless of their stance). Same for Lemmy for that matter, I block political communities whenever I see them in All.

        You do know that politics permeates almost everything subjective right?

          People who complain about politics in media are people so comfortable being pandered to they get upset when they’re not pandered to.

          Media with CIS white people? Not political. Media with queer people and maybe a few brown people? Political. China bad? Not political. China complicated and nuanced? Political.

            They also frequently are completely nedia illiterate. Like people who think fallout is anti-communism, when it’s indifferent to that but extremely anti-capitalism.

              Or my personal favorite was Paul Ryan complaining about Rage Against the Machine going political. lol

            I guess we need to stop using the word “political” now. Yet another stupid language grab by the right-wing. I avoid Politics, in that I don’t want to hear what Trump said today or what someone said that might happen, blah blah blah. Major points, like incitements etc trickle down to me sure, but I don’t tune into Cable or Nightly news; It gives me too much anxiety. I also don’t care about Hunter Biden, if Joe Biden said something weird etc. It’s too much.

            That being said. I vote in every Election and Primary. I spend most of my energy in the primaries making sure to vote for the right candidate for me. The General Election is a party sweep these days as I lost Trust in anyone willing to run as a Republican.

            Media with Queer, and non-white people isn’t political to me. It’s Media. I love underdog or overcoming adversity stories, so they show up a lot.

          If you say so. But I’m talking about videos specifically designed to cause outrage and arguments. I’m sure you know the type.

      It’s so sad how conservatives say the exact same thing, verbatim, about the left. The cults are eternally talking past each other.
