      … So in the sublemmy about stupid things that are true, we shouldn’t discuss the stupid things?

          What was your point then? I guess I didn’t understand.

            That their complaint about the post being a distraction from other issues would have been a much more reasonable take in a space meant only for “grown up” politics discussion than in a space for weirdness that also encompasses seriousness when appropriate.

              They’re talking about the news being a distraction, not your post.

        No no. It’s all true what you said. It needs to be said literally everywhere.

        I would argue this is a politics community. Sure, it’s focus is on absurd stories, but it’s still political. Just saying some stories are absurd is political.
