Bad meme and bad opinion.
You’re wrong.
Not a little wrong, just, wrong.
Go and talk to a politic science professor and they will tell you this.
You can’t escape politics because it’s linked to power.
Power structures affect everything in our society therefore politics affects everything.
When someone doesn’t want to ‘make it political’ all they are really doing is attempting to preserve an existing power structure they are a beneficiary of.
Sometimes people just want to freely discuss stuff without the overarching politics.
Did you ever think about that?
Then they should say that instead of trying to refute that just about everything is political because just about everything is political.
They literally are? If they are having a discussion and someone brings politics up, “stop making everything political” would mean what else than I don’t want politics in this discussion…?
Thats literally an attempted refutation of everything is inherently political. Its already political, no one you're talking to made it political, they just reminded you of something you tried to ignore. So again if you just dont want to talk about politics, just say that instead of trying to refute that pretty much everything is inherently political. Words have meaning, say what you mean, because implying that the person you're talking to is making thing political is different from saying 'hey im not trying to talk about politics' and it doesn't automatically mean the same thing as "Why do you make everything political", especially in forms of communication like text only. Hell, one of them is a question and the other is a statement, so why would anyone who doesn't want to talk about politics prompt someone with a question that in guaranteed to get an answer that's directly about politics?
Only if you incorrectly take it that way, in the context of the conversation, it would mean, you’re trying to make this political, fuck off.
People can only respond to the words on the screen, not the ones you wanted to say, if you ask someone a question expect an answer. I can't make it simpler.
And “stop making everything political” can’t be simpler either…. If you bring up politics and someone says those exacts words, they mean exactly that. Since you can’t comprehend those words as they are, I have had to describe the term in similar scenarios to help you understand, but you apparently can’t comprehend that either.
You clearly aren’t here to have a discussion in good faith, so stop making everything political and kindly fuck off.
Is that simple enough for you….? Here I’ll try again.
Fuck off.
Again infering it isn't already and you wonder why people respond. At least when you said fuck off you actually said what you meant. Try that more often.
Interestingly enough, that doesn’t work, because people just say. Why so hostile. So if politeness doesn’t work, and hostility doesn’t work… maybe the person you’re talking to isn’t actually trying to have a discussion…? Like you here. Or am I not being “simple” enough for you…?
How am I the one not trying to have a discussion? You think simply because I don't agree with you it means there's no discussion? Then wouldn't you also not be trying to have a discussion? If you tell someone they are making things political, expect them to respond, you're talking about them. If you don't want to talk about politics just say you don't want to. You've yet to respond to those points but insist they mean the same thing, and then you say I'm the one trying not to have a discussion. Hilarious.
