  » Hardly any discussion about politics, religion, or any other topic that no one ever changes their minds about. Maybe I don't understand the word "politics" but I think most of my posts are inherently political in nature. When we talk about how we need to increase taxes and decrease public spending, it is a political statement. When I say most people who don't have children should seriously consider not having any children and those who do have children should consider not having any more, it is also a political statement. Politics isn't just "Orange man bad" or "ten feet higher".

    When I say “I deserve to exist”, that’s unfortunately a strongly political statement. And when people can afford to say “I avoid politics”, that is in itself political.

      I have strong political views that I express other places and I am definitely not in a “privileged” demographic that can afford not to be political - I just don’t express them here except sometimes economics and try to back them up with as unbiased credible sources as I can.
