Tell me how DN is political!

Okay. But humour me for a second... what if everything wasn't politics? What if there was some place we could go to forget real-world worries and laugh at some funny pictures for a while?

Same argument nazis use to justify removing pride from video games. Not cutting it.

Suggested that we laugh and forget our cares for a while. Got compared to a nazi.

It's not my best day on the internet, but at least I have a funny story to tell.

Escapism and censorship are different things and I think they were suggesting the former. Turning your head off for a while after a day of politics or activism is very important for my mental health sometimes. As I understand them, that's what they meant at least. If not, meaning they're for strictly prohibiting political things in any way I would agree that this would be bad though!
