Ever considered that politics is not always the essence of everything? I don't care that fundamentally everything may be political. I don't care that we are made up of millions of tiny organisms. I care about the things I care. And that's not your political agenda.
Politics is not the essence of everything "To YOU" because you won the genetic/sociopolitical lottery. You sit comfortably atop the suffering of the "other," who does not have the luxury of playing this apolitical card.
I really didn't won the genetic/sociopolitical lottery...
Great but you see when you say 'I don't care about other people' then we loudly don't want to care about you back. That is pretty much it, I don't know why you need to foghorn that you are selfish, is it to rile up others to violence in name of their selfishness? Explain why you have to explain that you don't need something so badly, we dont need anything if we dont wish to live so whats the actual fucking point here to "DONT NEED IT' except to also say "OR ELSE" which is... ALSO A POLITICAL STATEMENT OR ELSE.
You’re apathetic about it because you benefit from the current structure.
You don’t have to care when you’re already a winner.
Did you ever consider maybe it's just people already talk about politics in a lot of other places, and don't need to talk about it literally 24/7?
Uh no on the contrary. My true self is apparently appalling and unnatural.
When I am cranking it to a model on Only Fans, that’s what I want to think about, not about what politicians may have paid to lick their butthole privately.
So yeah, everything is absolutely political, but sometimes you need a few degrees of separation.
Do you not benefit from the current structure? Who built your phone? I wonder how much they think about politics.
Yes I do benefit and I think it’s unjust which is why I’m a socialist.
I also think it’s unjust, but I don’t shoehorn it into every conversation.
you make socialists look bad
I don’t think you care about their optics beyond brow beating them for having an opinion that upsets you.
