    Yeah for example I’m just about to go hit up a political barbecue and maybe bring some political jalapeno poppers because my political friend likes spicy political food. Then maybe we’ll play some political games or something else political idk I’m kind of politically tired so maybe I’ll make up a political excuse and politically ditch early. Sometimes I like to be politically alone and read a political book or do a political puzzle

      The very fact you’re able to do all of this is an effect of politics. And there are people that also would like to have similar rights to exist the way the feel is right for them, but they can’t.

        People always tell me I make everything sexual but like… if it weren’t for sex we wouldn’t be here so basically boners are always relevant

        The very fact that they’re able to do all of this is also an effect of the mitochondria in their cells. But if people tell me to stop talking about mitochondria 24/7, then I should just find a group of other mitochondria enthusiasts to interact with instead of ranting about how I’m ““right”” to make everything about mitochondria.

      Some people do this and have a grand ole time with no concerns

      Some people do the exact same thing and have police called on them every time because they “must be up to something.”

      So yep, political.

      Freedom of association = (meeting with friends) that’s definitely political

      Barbecue = relatively safe to use and won’t explode because of government regulation, politics.

      Jalapeño poppers = safe to eat due to food safety standards, again politics.

      Conversation with friends = regulated by societal norms and acceptable behaviours, an output of the political environment - ‘let’s not talk about Trump or abortion to keep it “civil”’

      Games/books/puzzle = function of the economy regulated by the government and laws. Consumer protections etc etc

      I know you’re trying to be dismissive and funny but yeah…you’re just proving the point.

        If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail. If jalapeno poppers make you think of politics I think I can understand why someone would ask you to ease off the politics
