It’s a mixed forum, it seems.
Some threads are devoted to lite topics(funny even), some for personal advice, and some halachic and political items.
While what you say is true,(although searches may bring comments on this forum to the attention of outsiders), it is still important because the political topics are put in the minds of some of those who would, otherwise, possibly just continue in their carefree world of lite topics(which, without a doubt, are essential because they provide a reprieve from all those heavy subjects) and never give these topics a care.
Real halacha I would look elsewhere but talking mussar and ethics is also essential because, like the political topics, it makes one think of important subjects we might avoid.
Actually, a “life or death” situation could arise, if someone was despondent and didn’t know where to turn, reading an inspirational comment could help a person, and the reverse, G-d forbid, could also be true.
Just my thoughts on the subject.
