Agree 100% There's no such thing as "civil talk" about politics. It's a species that died out a long time ago.
Also, humans tend to bear a grudge. Before you know it, people's politics will be dragged into everything.
My opinion is that on a risk/reward or cost/benefit basis, this is not a likely winner. Politics have become somewhat of a religion for many. People's views are often defended at all cost, so it would be similar to everyone standing up, blocking their ears and shouting their views at the top of their voice. There are a TON of places for that everywhere including Reddit.
My experience is that those discussion inevitably break down into name-calling, racism and so on.
I personally see FIO as a safe-haven for traders to focus. But this is just 1 vote.

Hello all, as a rare lurker on this site I would like to introduce myself and give my two cents opinion 😉.
I understand the distaste for flame wars and rabbit hole ranting. That being said I personally find value in discourse and critical thinking material of all types.
Other unrelated forums I have seen separate threads and may have 'cleanly' moderated threads and another no holds barred thread for the same topic.
My personal interest and limited military experience have led me to form opinions aligned with the protection of freedom of speech.
As far as conspiracy theories, the factually supported evidence I find often reveals they may be true, debased lies with a thread of truth or sometimes even gaslighting operations performed by 'psychological operations' departments.
Back in the 90's I was a regular, morning mostly, CNBC watcher. Then at a certain point I found it a big distraction and either left it off or muted when on. Later when they went too far into politics, regardless of whether there was a business aspect to a particular discussion or not, they lost me. For good.
So I think you can guess how I feel about this topic. Even though, like most, I do participate on other forums.
"Civil Discourse about Politics" is an Oximoron, There is nothing civil about politics and it is best left alone.
Imposing "rules" just redirects the discourse to be like coral reefs which are very sharp and creates dangerous currents to all swimmers.
There is no such thing as "Civil" when it comes to politics today.
People need a place, like trading discussions, where we can forget about politics.
Can't this place be an asylum from that?
