No, "staying out of politics" just means refusing to try to tip the scales one way or another and/or being indifferent the outcome.

  That’s just a fancy way of saying “I’m fine with the status quo”.

    No, that's just a way of saying "I don't care either way, and if the status quo completely changes tomorrow, I still won't care".

      > if the status quo completely changes tomorrow, I still won’t care … and would implicitly be supporting the new status quo.

        Indifference ~= I support status quo Q, for any value of Q under consideration. Indifference is a thing, and it's not a positive statement in support of anything. Attempts to portray it as such seems to be a trick to try to draw people into polarized political debates.

      It's a hip rebranding of "if you're not for us, you're against us"
