    Politics isn’t religion, sports, or a hobby. Politics are what decide if you get to have the choice of religion, sports, or hobbies. Politics decide how many hours/days people must work, and if people get to eat, or even live for that matter.

      for you. that’s how you see the world.

      lots of people see it as a hobby, or a sport. or many other things.

      you are speaking for yourself. not everyone sees the world as you see it. for most people politics doesn’t exist when it comes to food. maybe it does for you. why is it that you think you speak for everyone?

        Every right you have is determined by the government systems you live under. If they declare no food goes to anyone in your town, and anyone who provides them food or grows food there will be executed on site… Politics just determined you don’t get food.

        I don’t speak for everyone, that’s how the world works. You can’t even choose to just leave your government system either, unless you find another government system willing to take you.

          I don’t live under them, I create them. I live in a democracy. I’m involved in my political systems. But I am not arrogant enough to think anyone who doesn’t is stupid or wrong or bad.

          The vast majority of people do not even know how their government works in my country. How do you expect them to become involved if they lack basic knowledge? I’d rather they just keep out of it.
