I'm temporarily taking a break from political activism, and it is tiring seeing everything right now. I have been politically active for 5 years now, and I desperately need a break. Voyager for Lemmy, at least for me, pushes political content like crazy.

Lemmy isn't pushing political content, Lemmy users tend to be very politically charged, thus the content reflects that.

Very unfortunate to me

It's a natural consequence of the decay of Capitalism, it will polarize and affect more and more people as time goes on.

What I can do about it?

Individually? Either try to ride with the Capitalists for as long as they last if you're already one of them, or join the Working Class and help bring about Socialism.

Capitalism has a natural tendency to go from free competition and decentralization to centralization over time, which lowers the real rate of profit. In fighting this, Capitalists go for more centralization to raise absolute profits, which has a definite limit. This means Socialism, ie public ownership and central planning by the Working Class, is a logical step beyond Capitalism brought about by Capitalism's very mechanisms.

I have an Introductory Reading List for Marxism if you want to read more about what you can do personally.
