You're literally buying into the idea that politics can be separated from life which is what capitalist media benefits from in a roundabout way. Capitalists don't want us to think "everything is political" because it threatens their power.

Humans are political animals, "my life isn't political" is just denying yourself agency so you don't have to worry about exercising a part of your consciousness that is healthy and normal to exercise.
