everything is political

How is this somehow a controversial statement. Literal having a conversation with some dumbfuck kid said that if I was right then nobody would ever disagree with me.... and he's saying that there's no politics involved in where you eat or in the air we breath. How can people be that privileged that they don't realize that their actions affect reality and politics affects their lives in about every way? I don't understand stupidity so why do I try.

because only people who have never faced any hardship or even inconvenience can afford to "not care" about politics

politics infuses literally every aspect of our lives, and if you pretend no politics are involved you are probably an entitled piece of shit

it is best to avoid such people

wrote this a month ago but got a reply to it today so i guess it's a sign to repost it here:

everything has political implications and everything can be analysed from a political statement.

but saying "everything is political" is a stupid rejection of the simple fact that us humans look at things through a multitude of lenses and politics is only one of those. being horny at something you saw while scrolling down your website of choice is fundamentally different experience from going to the polls and voting. in fact it's as stupid as pop-freudian "everything is sex". "hell yeah i'm horny for stopping the famine in yemen" would be a somewhat analogous thing.

The clean air act was political and the epa is being dismantled by politics. How is air not political?
