Ah, you kooky Americans. I just find it absurd that basic human empathy is considered a 'political viewpoint'. I guess if it is, then everything is. What does the word 'political' even mean any more?

Literally everything is fcking political, and not knowing this is some uneducated shit.

READING IS POLITICAL. Access to resources is political. EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL.

I'd love for YOU to define what "political" means bc I'm sure you don't know.

There is a government and inherent politics to every human dynamic. Two strangers meeting in the desert form a government between them, by communicating what will and wont happen (ie laws), and that communication is adaptive. Meaning, as the communications and laws are understood, we then make changes to our government based on current events. Those communications themselves, how they are communicated, and the later consequences and adaptations, are politics. Your existence as a human is politics. You eating is politics. You writing online is politics. And it shapes your life and your government and community. How do you not intrinsically know this?

You must be a real hoot at parties.

I refuse to be performative in my speech. Go police another woman.

I misspoke. You clearly don't get invited to parties.

Now, now. No need to be so political.
