This is the privileged take. So many people don't have the luxury of not paying attention to politics because their very identity and public existence is being outlawed.
I literally lived in Iraq and Syria for a big portion of my life, and I spent even more time living in the inner cities of the US. Some braindead Lemmy user trying to accuse me of being privileged from their mother's basement is exactly the type of ignorance that I expect from users on this site.
If people in literal warzones and in poverty can distinguish politics from everything else, then so can everybody else. This idea that people in bad circumstances think about politics 23/7 is not reality. This is an ignorant idea made by ideologues for ideologues. Even during the war in Iraq, people had weddings, they went to visit each other's houses, they celebrated holidays, they talk about trivial things, and so on. Do you know why that's the case? It's because they're people. You clearly don't view them as such, hence you hold on to such an out of touch belief.
I love when people say this shit to me because it could only really ever sting if it's true. When you're a grown-ass adult who's lived alone for over a decade, it kind of rings hollow. Nice try though.
You've also completely misrepresented my point so I'm not even going to bother continuing this.
It's ironic how everything you said here applies directly to you.
