The push to make the forum "apolitical" is actually very politically-motivated

2- Most posters who advocate for "less politics" on the forum , actually are very politicized themselves. Often, they are more or less secretly Left-leaning and when they say, Stop the politicization of the forum, what they really mean is: let's curb the Conservatism and "right-wing opinions" prevalent here on RVF, so that we "Liberals" take control of the threads.
That's all in your head. In reality, they just want to watch a football game or see a movie or clean their room without having to hear, yet again for the bazillionth time, from the usual culprits, about the globalists and Jews.
You lot are just like the SJWs except nominally on the right. "The personal is political" is your motto, just like theirs. With SJWs, if you don't go with all of their talking points, you get branded a Nazi. With you lot, if we don't talk about all your pet topics with every perceived opportunity, we're globalist stooges, or secret Leftists.
There is a time and place for politics, and there is living life. Go for a walk among nature, lift some heavy shit, then find a woman to mate. If you call yourself Conservative, then put a ring on it and put some babies in her too.
I was pissing off leftists with my candor long before it was cool to do it on the Internet. I'm far from left-leaning but I advocate for less politics on the forum (other than in the politics section of course).
The first reason is that I just don't want to talk about it all the time. I don't know why it is so difficult for people to understand that libertarians don't want to talk about politics all the time. Yes, the same group of people who advocate for less government and less politicians also want to spend less time discussing politics. What a concept!!!
The second reason is the hypocrisy of a small minority of the politically oriented guys on the forum. A small minority of the politics guys play the same games as SJWs. Straw man arguments, shouting other people down, insults, and using whatever means necessary other than truth and logic to defeat the people who disagree with them.
It always boggles my mind how some people in the manosphere claim to be red pill. Red pill is synonymous with truth. If you have the type of personality that places a very high value on truth, honesty, integrity, and accuracy then the spin and bullshit that some people use to try to win arguments should annoy the hell out of you just like it does to me, even if the bullshitter is on the same side of the argument as you. Dishonesty and bullshit make my skin crawl which is why I try to avoid political conversations where truth and logic are a lower priority than winning an argument on the Internet.
