This is a big false dichotomy.
It's difficult to find an aspect of modern society that is not influenced by a complex combination of social, ethical and legal norms plus science, technology, economy, education and so on.

No, it's an actual distinction. >It's difficult to find an aspect of modern society that is not influenced by a complex combination of social, ethical and legal norms plus science, technology, economy, education and so on. And all of them are influenced by politics.
- eeZah7Ux 6y agoPlease learn the meaning of "false dichotomy".
- coldtea 6y agoPlease don't be rude. Or, to answer at the same level, learn the difference between (a) when action at two fronts is legitimate vs: (b) when there's an essential front where action must be focused at, and a distraction/band-aid/irrelevant secondary target that doesn't really settle anything. Not all dichotomies are false dichotomies. Sometimes you really should not spend effort at one level/battleground, but on another. The fact that you can spend effort at both is irrelevant -- and spending effort at both can still be detrimental to your cause.
