I live in the American south, so I get a lot of religious stuff, and a lot of copy/paste conservative political propaganda. I also get some liberal propaganda.
Now, I despise politicians in general, and more specifically, the way they lie and twist facts and figures. I absolutely hate propaganda. It's bloody insulting. As such, I find most political activists to be zombies who have signed over their brains along with their political allegiance.
I've torn apart a few of the more blatant falsehoods people have posted, like the "Obama's spending inferno" thing from weeks ago, or when a friend linked an article that "proved" global warming is a liberal conspiracy. I didn't lash out, even though I wanted to, but rather pointed out the very obvious flaws in each, such as how the latter was mainly ad homiem attacks on a few environmental scientists.
The religious stuff I usually ignore, or if it gets bad, I block the user's feed.
I also got really, really sick of seeing the barrage of Chik-Fil-A support pictures.
I did make a general post earlier this year about how "it much be a campaign year, judging from all the political crap cluttering up my facebook page" that calmed things down for a little while. A very small while.
