And yet any random person on the street can easily flag something as being political or not political. I don’t accept that everything is automatically political

And yet any random person on the street can easily flag something as being political or not political. I don’t accept that everything is automatically political. That is just an unrealistic argument that doesn’t match the reality of how the word is used.
- NoodleIncident 6y agoYou're correct. Almost everyone can efficiently categorize things they disagree with as "politics", while categorizing things they agree with as "common sense".
- throwawaysea 6y agoAgain this is hyperbole and is not how people think. The politicization of everything and denying that some ideas are apolitical are tied. The latter is a false justification for the former.
