I don't have a strong sense of what's mainstream because I usually only engage with politics in a left-leaning online space that was popularized by a protest against a corporation. Can you think of anything mainstream that's likely to get a pass? I'm 80% sure if you can, it's going to be because someone will see it and not even consider that it could cause an argument because it's such a given... I'll drop that down to 50% if you're trying to pick an example to prove me wrong.

That's true to an extent. It's more about avoiding arguments, though, and less about whether the view is orthodox.

For example, some views are so out there and unaligned that people will just think it's a joke and not fault you unless you start seriously arguing for it, like if you say murder should be legal.

On the other hand, some orthodox views would still get restricted because they're contentious. Like if you start talking about how you believe in equal rights, that's something most people agree with (at least in principle,) and it shouldn't be political. But it's going to ruffle some feathers anyways (especially if you get any more specific than that,) so it'd be restricted.

So basically, it either has to be so out there that people won't think you're serious, or so commonplace that people won't even consider that it could result in arguments.

Technically, yes, everything is political if you make it political. But you have to make it political first. Petting your cat isn't inherently political unless you bring up the government policies and economical structures that allow you to own the cat in the first place, or compare your attitude towards the cat to a political stance, or something else of that ilk.

In the same way, everything is scientific if you study it scientifically, and everything is theological if you consider it from a theological perspective. It's technically true, but that doesn't make it useful. It says more about the way you think than the nature of reality, especially as politics are a social construct.

This is true, though we might be better without defining productivity in terms of what we do for our employer.

It's to be expected. Politcs are charged and it's easier to downvote someone who looks like they're against you. At least there's no karma on Lemmy.

So he did get involved, sort of. That answers my question, thanks.

I don't understand. Did he get involved, or was he just there watching? Because if he was just watching, I agree that there's nothing unusual about that, and trying to make news of it is just gossip.

I'm traught, whelmed, and feeling the aster.

If you leave entrepreneurship with major brain injury, who's going to compensate you?

Joke aside, yeah, that's right. Though I think that's included under "bigger risks."

Like entrepreneurs, but with bigger risks.

Actually I think it was very sequitur.

If I had a million dollars, I could eat a burger for breakfast tomorrow.

Yeah, and taking time to rest actually makes you more productive.

New theory: Hippocrates is just Socrates from the hippo-verse.

Your argument is in shambles.

Yeah they were.

Thank you for your wise words, o slayer of the ages.

Making the mother of all omelettes? Here, jack.

I'd take that post over the bear.
