Also false, many people who you would claim are affected by “structural inequality” and who are more focused with improving their individual conditions also do not have time to concern themselves with politics.
Example is myself. I am a child of poor immigrants. I am neither white nor wealthy. I do not care about involving myself in your politics, I spend my time focused on working and being productive for the sake of supporting my family. Frankly your politics destroyed my country.
- sagichmal 6y agoBy definition, if you're able to ignore politics, you are not part of the demographic that I'm describing.
- CyberRabbi 6y agoWhat demographic are you describing?
- joshuamorton 6y ago> I do not care about involving myself in your politics This is a political stance. You have involved yourself in politics. There's really no way out.
- CyberRabbi 6y agoYou’re twisting words to make your point vacuously true. I do not care about changing federal government policy or who runs the federal government. Call that whatever you like, doesn’t mean I have ever received special benefits from the system any more than anyone else. That is my stance because I have better things to do with my time, like being productive.
- sagichmal 6y agoThe fact that you are able to not care about these things is a privilege you enjoy. And not caring about them is a political decision that you've made.
- CyberRabbi 6y agoIt’s literally a privilege everyone enjoys. No one is forced to care about politics at all. That’s a false premise. It’s always a choice, it’s not a privilege.
- sagichmal 6y agoIf you are a trans person and need to use the bathroom in a conservative state, then you are forced to care about politics. If you are a black person who is stopped by the police and rightfully fear for your life, then you are forced to care about politics.
- CyberRabbi 6y agoFalse in both cases
- sagichmal 6y agoI mean, obviously you're wrong.
