- ralfd 10y agoThis reply from me to you is not political.
- rhizome 10y agoIt absolutely is if you're asserting that your statement isn't self-refuting.
- pasquinelli 10y agoit also communicates nothing ;)
- bertiewhykovich 10y agoArguably it is -- it implies that non-political communication exists, which (as this thread demonstrates) is a politically-laden claim. This, of course, doesn't demonstrate that nonpolitical communication is in fact impossible, but it does show that it's harder to construct than one might expect.
- Retra 10y agoYes it is, it is overtly political dissent against their point concerning acceptable behavior of groups of humans.
- grondilu 10y agoWhat about things like "pass the salt" or "I love you"?
- labster 10y ago"I love you" is the single most powerful political statement one can make.
