    apolitical

    I already knew this meant “status quo warrior ashamed of sounding right wing” but recent interactions with federated Lemmy users have really hammered in what a bunch of bootlicking sycophants for capitalism tend to call themselves “apolitical” or “nonpolitical.” disgost

      status quo warrior

      Honestly I will start calling people Status Quo Warriors who call others SJW. Also SQW just rings better.

      “The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

      ― Bertolt Brecht

      It does seem to be “apolitical” awareness day on lemmy. Saw multiple threads on how the nonpoliticals want everyone to stop posting political memes
