You’re wrong.

Not a little wrong, just, wrong.

Go and talk to a politic science professor and they will tell you this.

You can’t escape politics because it’s linked to power.

Power structures affect everything in our society therefore politics affects everything.

When someone doesn’t want to ‘make it political’ all they are really doing is attempting to preserve an existing power structure they are a beneficiary of.

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.

You’re apathetic about it because you benefit from the current structure.

You don’t have to care when you’re already a winner.

Uh no on the contrary. My true self is apparently appalling and unnatural.
