True is the bad guy in this comic. Participating in politics is a civic duty, and an ethical responsibility. Man cannot live apart from society, so man must have an investment in maintaining society. Living without politics is like living without cleaning. Sooner or later, your home is going to stink.

Politics is not the only way to maintain society

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes it is.

No. Ways to maintain society that aren’t politics include:

Go clean up trash on your street
Show up at your job and do good work
Meditate to become a positive influence on the emotional atmosphere
Make beautiful art
Have kids and raise them to be healthy

Those are all politics, genius.

Everybody knows that baseball summer camps are the real backbone of American society

If you’re implying that politicians are the backbone of society I don’t even know where to start.
