I don't think we're actually disagreeing, I'm in no way advocating getting involved in just random politics for no reason. But if you need to actively participate in politics -- campaigning, fundraising, testifying at hearings, writing or meeting with your legislators, calling your local paper and giving interviews, collecting signatures because of policy you need or policy that is going to meaningfully harm you then you don't have the privilege to detach from those issues unless you already have other people who will stand up for you. But obsessively following news or yelling at no one in particular on the internet about issues, I wouldn't bother either.
