    You’re wrong.

    Not a little wrong, just, wrong.

    Go and talk to a politic science professor and they will tell you this.

    You can’t escape politics because it’s linked to power.

    Power structures affect everything in our society therefore politics affects everything.

    When someone doesn’t want to ‘make it political’ all they are really doing is attempting to preserve an existing power structure they are a beneficiary of.

      Ever considered that politics is not always the essence of everything? I don’t care that fundamentally everything may be political. I don’t care that we are made up of millions of tiny organisms. I care about the things I care. And that’s not your political agenda.

        Politics is not the essence of everything “To YOU” because you won the genetic/sociopolitical lottery. You sit comfortably atop the suffering of the “other,” who does not have the luxury of playing this apolitical card.

        Great but you see when you say ‘I don’t care about other people’ then we loudly don’t want to care about you back. That is pretty much it, I don’t know why you need to foghorn that you are selfish, is it to rile up others to violence in name of their selfishness? Explain why you have to explain that you don’t need something so badly, we dont need anything if we dont wish to live so whats the actual fucking point here to "DONT NEED IT’ except to also say “OR ELSE” which is… ALSO A POLITICAL STATEMENT OR ELSE.

        You’re apathetic about it because you benefit from the current structure.

        You don’t have to care when you’re already a winner.

          Did you ever consider maybe it’s just people already talk about politics in a lot of other places, and don’t need to talk about it literally 24/7?

          When I am cranking it to a model on Only Fans, that’s what I want to think about, not about what politicians may have paid to lick their butthole privately.

          So yeah, everything is absolutely political, but sometimes you need a few degrees of separation.

          Do you not benefit from the current structure? Who built your phone? I wonder how much they think about politics.

      Sometimes people just want to freely discuss stuff without the overarching politics.

      Did you ever think about that?

        Then they should say that instead of trying to refute that just about everything is political because just about everything is political.

          They literally are? If they are having a discussion and someone brings politics up, “stop making everything political” would mean what else than I don’t want politics in this discussion…?

            Thats literally an attempted refutation of everything is inherently political. Its already political, no one you’re talking to made it political, they just reminded you of something you tried to ignore. So again if you just dont want to talk about politics, just say that instead of trying to refute that pretty much everything is inherently political. Words have meaning, say what you mean, because implying that the person you’re talking to is making thing political is different from saying ‘hey im not trying to talk about politics’ and it doesn’t automatically mean the same thing as “Why do you make everything political”, especially in forms of communication like text only. Hell, one of them is a question and the other is a statement, so why would anyone who doesn’t want to talk about politics prompt someone with a question that in guaranteed to get an answer that’s directly about politics?

              Only if you incorrectly take it that way, in the context of the conversation, it would mean, you’re trying to make this political, fuck off.

                People can only respond to the words on the screen, not the ones you wanted to say, if you ask someone a question expect an answer. I can’t make it simpler.

                  And “stop making everything political” can’t be simpler either…. If you bring up politics and someone says those exacts words, they mean exactly that. Since you can’t comprehend those words as they are, I have had to describe the term in similar scenarios to help you understand, but you apparently can’t comprehend that either.

                  You clearly aren’t here to have a discussion in good faith, so stop making everything political and kindly fuck off.

                  Is that simple enough for you….? Here I’ll try again.

                  Fuck off.

                    Again infering it isn’t already and you wonder why people respond. At least when you said fuck off you actually said what you meant. Try that more often.

      Just because it’s important doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to have happy conversations that don’t involve politics which is basically what you are saying we should never do.
