I agree, but that doesn't mean we should silence people who bring up political issues. > But I'd like to offer an indicator for when things inevitably become 'political'; when there's no provably correct answer and the use of force is involved. That's a good indicator that pretty much everyone would agree. However, what constitutes "use of force", however, changes from people to people. Some people believe that merely having a state is "use of force". Other people believe that having a billion dollars to bargain is "use of force". It gets crazier: other people believe it's neither. Or both. Etcetera.
