These conversations should happen more often in most circles, but the "keep politics out of X" parrots shut them down. Communication is a key piece to dismantling authoritarianism, so they need people to be ostracized for speaking.

Just so used to seeing people in gamer spaces being livid about Paper Mario Sticker Star, rather than the politics that affect them every day, is all
