Really there's nothing that's not political in some way. Politics is the expression of human wills and desires and people tend to say something is political when they disagree.
"Keep politics out of ____" is just "I don't want to ever assess my ethics with a critical lens."
Yuppp. It's basically like admitting you like the present ideology, and just don't want to think about how life could be better.
This is the perfect way to say it.
"Ethics" is the word I was looking for, for what people are now calling "politics." It's why people don't like Star Wars, Sesame Street, or Mr. Rogers: Because they are ethical.
Exactly. How could we possibly divorce our values from our politics? As far as society goes, it is the ultimate expression of our values.
Literally. Politics is all about the power dynamics between people. If there are two or more people there will always be a power dynamic even if the two are on good terms and do not exert power over each other.
It’s like how you can always describe the color in any given painting, even when the painting is monochromatic.
Woah there, that's leftist woke propaganda, talking about human wills and desires. I was brought up apolitical so I'm sensitive to these things - I can only vote for the Republicans because every other party is just too political.
