When I was in college, the last thing I thought about was politics. Even more so in high school. Sure, there was election hype during the primaries. However, to try and say I ordered my identity and everyday consciousness around politics would have been absurd. That was too busy skateboarding playing video games and having fun.
When did this shift happen where people’s lack of religious attendance slowly shifted into the political realm and their morality and politics became one? Why are there people right now below the age of 30 obsessing about politics nonstop? Why not choose happiness and have fun?


It’s tiny enough I have no associations with it. And OP is a new account - maybe a throwaway.
Most people agree with them IRL, though, so it’s not like it’s shocking to hear from any corner of the internet.
Yea, I guess that checks out.
