For me politics was a question of venue, not a question of taboo. I certainly do not think that politics is something that should be discussed on a personal Facebook page. However, if you on your personal Facebook page, order me to wear a mask or get an experimental vaccine, I will indeed make comments about it. (and maybe about the appropriateness of the venue). Also, if you want to tell me how evil orange man is or Biden, I may comment on that as well (and again, the question of venue).
Substacks, Facebook Groups, pages, etc. are fair game for politics because again, it is a more appropriate venue. I even thought at one time to put up my own Facebook group entitled "Stuck in the Middle With You"
The thing is, I have been blocked after I responded to these people whether it was about Covid policies or even about dissenting opinions in general. So it's not indoctrination. They are the ones indoctrinated with the idea of "disagreement is hate" not us. I am open to conversation, I am open to concession, and compromise as needed.
Final thought: I have subscribed to a number of substacks that propagate the main narrative, guess how many of them have commenting turned on for non-paying subscribers.
