If politics really affects you then you're looking for it.

It's very rare for your average person to mention politics even on a semi regular basis.

Social media is very different from real life. It basically gives license to make some people think they can say what they want.
If you wouldn't say it in real life, don't say it online.

You don't exactly have to look for it, the wee tyrant is on tv just about every day.  As I said its talked about 9 days out of 10 in the pub.
And I say a lot worse in real life than I do on here

Like I said, it's not even an issue in my life. Folk spoke about it at the time it was happening and apart from the odd comment here and there it isn't a main topic with anyone that I see daily, weekly, or even now and then.

Maybe it is for the older generation, not being cheeky BTW. I think you're a bit older than me.

The most I see it is on social media and both sides give it as good as they get, which IMO is pointless because the type that post about it on social media are very unlikely to change their minds and it just goes round and round in circles, ends up in name calling and one-upmanship until the next time a debate starts.

It was quite a surprise to me to see how many people were well into it when I joined Scotland mad about 10 year ago and it dragged me in a bit. I try to stay away from it nowadays but I may put a comment in here or there if I feel like it.

Just the way I see it.

Fair enough, and your not been cheeky 🤔
I you can go round and round. 🤷‍♂️

You see folk sharing things on Facebook etc and there's very little if any replies. Most folk try to steer well clear of it because they know that in the main it's a pointless argument and a waste of time.
