Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.
If you like the idea, we need help! Check out the pinned post on the community.
Your article is based on a false dichotomy to begin with, that politics is either 'all human interaction', or 'stuff I disagree with'. You miss the common definition that most of the world operates by, where politics relates to stuff related to governance.
By your definition perhaps. Most of us disagree.
No, you've changed and diluted the word to the point it's meaningless and taken away a term that's actually useful. You want to redefine it for yourself, sure. But stop acting as if everybody else agrees with (or is even aware of the existence of) your definition.
The nature of our society is that we are always actively participating in governance of the social groups in which we participate. The common definition is My definition. Even at this very moment, we are arguing over how to govern your community, and you are through well-intentioned carelessness poorly governing My identity, by accidentally misgendering Me. Our every action is political. I ask that you be aware of this fact, rather than retreating from responsibility.
