Everything is politics, especially these days. You cannot even say, "genocide is bad" without some fuckwit calling you an antisemite.
The only thing worse than politics are those who refuse to take a stand.

People get triggered when you say "we should be kind to each other" and will call you a woke, liberal snowflake. Those are also the same people who will screech about "making everything political" wherever they get any blowback. So yeah, everything is political and always has been.
The EU project wasn't political until people started virtue signaling
A Flag is political, the act of defacing/removing a flag is political, the EU is political. EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL
I'm now curious, as someone who hasn't participated in any of the chats, what's going on?
There was a... discussion whether Hungarian flag deserves to be near EU flag.
As one of the parties involved, Here is my attempt at a writeup:

I wrote it as a reply for here but ended up posting it standalone.
there was an agreed upon compromise lol, one guy had to come and argue it
Agreed upon is a stretch it was lets make sure it doesn't look completely stupid. The children weren't going to let up.
uhh, you were the only one who couldn’t let it go mate
If the room temperature IQ'ers had simply put a different European flag over it we wouldn't have cared but they didn't
Another reason the weird nationlism these things always devolve into is such a nuisance.
they should have made a subchat for the eu area at that point lol.
It was stupid and ruined the whole mural because they wanted to joke around they couldn't remove the country from the politics which were the way they were due to 50 years under Russian rule.
A sincere fuck you to everyone who participated in that nonsense of desiccating the flag and for demanding your stupid little garden was kept on the Scottish flag
