@spaceinsomniac: wtf is this word salad
complaining about politics in your entertainment is down one of to two things:
you are ignorant of the world of politics and disengage as soon as you hear anything involving politics. in this case you are ignorant of life and need to learn that politics is part of life and begin to engage. there is zero excuse for being ignorant of politics once you reach a double digit age.
other one is that you feel attacked because of your personal politics, and rather than understand why the people who you respect feel this way, and either disagree and go on with your life, or question your choices and grow as a person, you entrench yourself and refuse to engage, use words like 'divisive, sanctimonious, and frequently hypocritical' and fall back on the 'keep politics out of my ___', which is just an attempt to silence people for disagreeing with you, which guess what, is a political stance.
i feel for americans, because you have a pair of fucking awful political parties in complete thrall to capitalism (the uk was much the same for 30 years). it's a long time to go without noticing that things are wrong, and it's hard to come to terms with when fundamental proofs that things are wrong rear their head.
