This is a terrible argument - a secular Pascal’s mugging, conveniently invoked to force everyone and everything into politics; a currently un-ironic “think of the children”! It is not healthy for our society to demand that 100% of things be politicized - to claim that not politicizing stuff is immoral because some issues are profoundly impactful for some people! I want the good, the equitable, the right, the just and far, far less of the political! Politics deserves the deference due politics in any particular situation - not that derived from catastrophizing the most extreme outcome and then universalizing it into the quotidian! | Some might say that you and your friends' ability to sit on the sidelines is a form of privilege not available to everyone. I say the ability and demand to turn everything into politics and require the same of everyone else is itself a form of privilege!
