No, everything in life is political in some way or another.
- gpvos 5y agoAs Dutch theologian Harry Kuitert wrote: everything is political, but politics isn't everything.
- hagbard_c 5y agoTo be more precise, everything in society is political in some way or another. If you want to get rid of politics, get rid of society [1]. The denser the population, the heavier the politics so it already helps to move out to less densely populated areas. This comes as no surprise given the origin of the term politics - πόλις (polis) being the Greek word for "city" and πολίτης (polites) the word for "citizen". The same goes for the 'net where the most populous (not so much popular) entities wield an overly large amount of political power. If you want to get rid of those politics you'll have to move out of those environments - in other words, decentralise the 'net.
