Why are signatures allowed to have political statments? IMO it's distracting and way off the normal scope of discussion in a computer tech focused forum. It just raises the temperature for no reason.
Got a tip for us?

As soon as I created an account, I went into settings and disabled signatures. I don't see them at all.

One of the first things I did too ^. Used to be involved heavily in the old politics forum - wasn't worth it. Glad they have the option to turn that off now so those who wish to spend their time doing that can, and those of us who don't are happy too

REALLY bugs me about Discord now ... forcing those user Title tags - people putting political messages in those with (as far as I know) - no way to turn it off.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to change my avatar, which I was contemplating to do anyway, and compress some text - say "Das Kapital" - in its place. /jk
I'm glad the forum allows this flexibility for the members, thanks!

Well obviously, when I share my opinion, it should be yours as well, DUH!
Considering that Karl Marx was enlisted to do his work and funded by bankers based in London it is anybody's best guess what exactly "political statement" "Das Kapital" spreads.
The problem with the "statements" is that everybody have a different level of understanding and therefore "put it where everybody can see it and nobody will be able to see it" remains forever true.
It's not a new phenomenon that people only read titles/headlines, which can be misunderstood, twisted or even false.
I was, and am (as is my right as a Brit) very sarcastic at times. People love to say "“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit! hahahahaha" not realising that their brains have run out of space half way through the quote 😁

I would say that sarcasm is just a "lightweight" example of a very serious point that there are first order consequence(what you can see on the surface) and second, third and so on order consequences where the real "game" is actually happening.
