How is this politics. This is a stand against a tyrant, this has nothing to do with political opinions. As a human being you have an obligation to stand against tyrants, nothing political about that.
- mwyah 7y agoI'd argue that this is completely and absolutely political. Just deciding that this guy is a tyrant is political.
- Isinlor 7y agoNot doing anything is also political. Everything is political in social context.
- wickedsickeune 7y agoMaybe you are right. In my mind you have to do something when you see blatant injustice, so it is justified. If you say that what I judge as unjust is political, then fair enough, it may very well be.
- austhrow743 7y agoTaking a stance on a governing bodies actions is clearly politics. In what way could it possibly not?
- wickedsickeune 7y agoAs an example, if your government instructed you to separate parents from their child, you could refuse, without any political motivations. If you consider this a difference of opinion between the government and you, then yes, it may be political. In my view core values are not political, because you can't argue for and against them.
- austhrow743 7y agoCore values values applied to governance decisions is exactly what a political stance is. Refusing to obey that order from your government is a political decision.
