Everything is political.
Everything.
The idea that anything could be political is good for keeping an open mind, but it is not inherently true without making 'political' so vague to be meaningless.
Rain is not political. How we use rainfall can be political, as well as the impact global warming has on rainfall payterns. That doesn't make rain itself political.
I take your point.
A water molecule is not inherently political, there is no ‘politics’ one can observe under an electron microscope.
However, I am approaching from the perspective that humans are perceiving that water. And given that humans are political with everything then all actions/perceptions humans have are political.
How is !stick@sh.itjust.works political?
This game is a good thought experiment that you can play yourself.
It can help to see connections and interests in all the different facets of society.
I’ll help you out with the stick community though (I’m sure you can think of lots of other examples of how it’s political):
Take a wood product into a country with strict quarantine.
Maybe one of those sticks was removed from a protected area.
Try carry that stick into a secure area, suddenly it’s a weapon. You don’t agree? Better argue your case to politicians who wrote those laws.
