    To the average listener, you are likening our distorted Luigi friend to Rosa Parks.

    Not really. I just assume more of their intelligence than you do.

    We are not in fact on a moving train,

    Was Roe v. Wade overturned with or without you?

    It was overturned without a lot of people.

    But, regardless, this actually has nothing to do with whether having Christmas dinner with mom’s family or dad’s is an issue of politics (the family’s).

    If you lack the imagination for why two people might disagree about some Luigi head, whatever. They still can. Maybe somebody views it as ableist, maybe it becomes a nazi dogwhistle, maybe it’s not funny enough and the community argues about whether content like this should even be welcome here. Maybe somebody thinks it’s gross and doesn’t want it in their eyes, and what was just an image of Luigi is now a point of stubborn unwelcomeness from the community and the reason why this individual decides to leave forever.

    Not all of these examples demand that you care about them. People leave sometimes. Oh well.

    You don’t have a counter to the idea that politics is everywhere—you keep agreeing with it and then dismissing it. This grandstanding about treating very serious ideas very seriously is getting really boring.
