I'm genuinely curious, what is political about, say, a discussion between two fellow students clarifying a point of theory that they just learned? Or on the other end of the spectrum, a discussion between friends about the weather? I can easily agree that many discussions are political, maybe even most. But all? I don't see it.
- sanxiyn 13y agoWhile I agree that some discussions are not political, I think the parent comment's main argument is that "I don't like politics" is a very political statement (for status quo), and I completely agree.
- nbouscal 13y agoI definitely agree with that as well, maybe I'm being a little pedantic, but she or he did make the claim that all discussions are political. It just struck me the wrong way as someone who really enjoys non-political discussions (when I can find them).
