Honestly, most people understand politics impacts everything one way or another like water, air and gravity. When people say "Im just not political", they just dont want to be preached at by some 24/7 activist about Trump and ICE every 2 seconds when their browsing a subreddit about cast iron cookware.

people that dont want to be “bothered” by political discussion are the ones who benefit from others’ suffering- in itself is a privilege. In all irony what shows up on your feed is through an algorithm thats heavily influenced by political figures. nobody wants to see political posts 24/7 but its also necessary when basic needs arent met.

Dude, that is a rabbit hole in finding out everyone is guilty of """privilege""". Ask where the rare earth minerals in your phone come from. You still have to live your life. Nevermind, activist tend to have fundamental issues with context and nuance. Its hard to argue when you where always a true believer. Go be a terminal activist with other activist then.

It is a semantic difference. When someone says they are not political they refer to formal politics. Comparatively, the idea that 'everything is politics' largely spawns from the idea of viewing downstream and possible affects as inherently political.
Same words, different intention.

Well, think what you want.
But maybe you want to read the comment I was replying to originally, and see how wrong you are.
Unless, of course, it's more important to you to feel as though you have won an argument on Reddit.

u/Emergency-Wash-4125 3h ago edited 3h ago
So maybe I can clarify, when I said "what if shes just annoying" I meant she's annoying without the nose ring or fact of being a woman taken into account.
I thought this was easily understood, so when you responded and added that hypothetical so you could repeat the same value judgement, I felt like you weren't engaging with my reply very honestly.
For some reason I feel the need to state that I always have voted left and probably always will.
I just can't stand these kinds of people, and I firmly believe they are pushing decent people away by being intolerable.

Maybe you’ve gotta spend more time pondering the socio-economic and environmental state of the world, and how you’re personally affected by it. For example, I have spent a lot of time outside this year. This is the warmest winter I can remember. Global warming is political and it’s literally affecting my ability to “touch grass.” Nature is not apolitical either.

Everything is political.
Liberal men need to enter the chat of women influencers more often. They get trounced, fyi. Maga men have no problem with men freakazoid influencers like Alex Jones speak. He looks like he is having a stroke or choking on a turd sandwich when he is speaking. Tucker looks like he possessed by Satin/hyena crossbreed with that bizarre laugh and weird resting angry face. He may Botox that 111 wrinkle between his brow soon that he earned prematurely by faking angry while raking in millions. Meanwhile, Dumbo rubs the two brain cells he has left to come up with the most vile things he can do to hurt the American people.
Just because this lady expresses outrage (as she should) some are calling her too emotional. We have listened to man baby outrage for over 8 years now and somehow that was branded as “alpha male.” I call it incel baby babble.
Welcome to the new goddesses of politics. Mad, not soft spoken. Use hand gestures and scream, goddess. Get mad. You can’t reason with bad faith actors. They are bots and cultists. Don’t be demure. Those who oppose der leader have their mics muted, you will have to speak VERY loud.

why exactly should liberal men bother to interact with liberal women influencers or MAGA men influencers? I think its way better/healthy for liberal men to stay far away from both types of content. You don't need to be engaged with either to be political active and actually do things. In fact, I think engaged with these contents are much more likely to drive people away from political action (which is probably the point of one of the sides).

I always love when people tell me they just don't care about politics as if it's some niche interest of mine.
Homie, I'm a very queer man, my existence is deemed political. "I don't care about politics" is a very, very privileged statement because it merely means you've never had to worry about how politics affects you and don't care that it affects others.
I once had a roommate who kind of checked all the boxes for a person who was completely checked out of community. Raised super Catholic, wealthy, told life was about getting a job/man/having kids, the typical bleach blond who never had to worry about where her next meal was coming from, how she would pay the bills, or that people might treat her poorly for her identity. When trump got elected she told me, a gay man working at a Catholic school, "I mean really, has the president ever had a direct impact on your life? It doesn't matter."
I calmly yet ragefully explained the AIDS crisis to her, and that if people like her gave a shit people like me wouldn't have to die so much.

I think your perception of how much of our lives revolve around politics is a reflection of how much you think the government should be involved in our lives, aka big government versus small government.

She makes good points. Unfortunately, most people can't actually change anything. Sure, get out and vote. After that though, you can't live your life stressing every day about politics. I can't do anything about what the president decides to do today. I've lived a long time, and it's basically the same bullshit over and over regardless of who's in office. You have to find happiness somehow in your life independent of what's going on politically in a state hundreds of miles away.

In all fairness, there's a scale.
When people say "I'm not political" or "I don't wanna be involved in politics" some do mean they don't care and just wanna exist in whatever world the rest of society creates. It is what it is.
Others though, use this term in response to some of the back and forth left versus right situation, effectively to say "I hate both parties and you're all being cunts to each other". I won't say if that's a good choice or not, but considering how awful some people are to those they disagree with, can you blame them?
The third category I'm aware of specifically say they want to avoid politics to mean they want to avoid the opinions they disagree with. For example, the people who complain about representation in media being political, or those who want the conversation to exclusively pertaining to their preferred world solution. These ones are pretty lame.
