People are allowed to create boundaries for themselves. Just because they set a very fucking healthy boundary of no political posts on social media, doesn't mean they can't engage politically in other ways. Probably they'll have more energy to actually take concrete action when they're not just seething in front of a screen.
If you want to have political content, go make a sub and post there. Nobody is stopping you, and nobody is obliged to engage with content they don't want to.
Apologies. I misread you.
I'm fond of reality though. But for me that word probably has a bit different meaning ^^;
