So some feel safe when real world topics are done away and we pretend they don't exist... but to some it feels strange and even unsafe.
Again, I can pretend I cannot use my vacation house and vineyards cause flock of bears moved in and another flock of bear ruined the coal shed and that somebody said something mean to me (I can even pretend it was something mean about my "mental illness")... but what advice I can get?

No one is saying you can't talk about it in private or in the specified group. Obviously they received some complaints which implies that the majority here don't want to hear it. There are other things related to MI that aren't allowed here. For example, s. threats are not allowed. Because although someone may be feeling that way and want to talk about it, that is something that would trigger the majority of other members.
I never had a problem with politics but clearly there are other ways to discuss them besides in public chats and forums.
