I feel like there is a subtle missunderstanding of my point. Its not that there is politics and then there is everything else… its all political, everything, anything humans care about at all is politics.
There is no escape from it because its everything. Buy a bottle of water, that political, drive to work, that’s political, play a game of dnd with your friends, thats political, jerk off alone in the forest where no one anywhere will ever see or know, guess what… political.
Politics is the collective struggle to decide what we will and will not do, what we can and can not do, our values. Anything and everything you care about is political. Even if its something you take for granted and don’t think about ever, the fact that you can take it for granted is political.
There isn’t less or more politics at any given time, only less or more acknowledgement of the political realities at that time. Its everything.
its all political, everything, anything humans care about at all is politics.
yeah, i think that’s the problem, there is a fundamental misapplication of politics. I also dont fundamentally agree with that assertion, arguably dying is not a politically relevant act. You could argue that being born is influenced by politics i suppose. But even then there’s a layer of separation, or two.
i mean, you can kill yourself, which can be politically relevant, but i don’t think dying of natural causes is politically relevant in any sense of the action, yeah.
