well I have to remind myself this is a political group so politics is going to be the main topic over anything else 🙂
I was actually the kind of guy who would always say “i hate politics” – it was in the same category as Philosophy to me which I also didn’t like. I’m more a science guy, research guy, did a religion hopping thing for a bit – but politics was always just a bunch of talking heads.
And I used to pride myself never watching the news.
People would tell me about something and I’d be all proud of knowing nothing. They’d get mad and I’d be like, “if it’s important, someone will tell me” (like a hurricane coming or something).
Somewhere along the line a few years ago I started following news but I did have a lot of years just ignoring news and politics completely. I only found out later ‘what happened’ in that time.
