I bet a lot of people living in Germany in the '30s said "I don't do politics" too. Oops.

In Germany the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in the early 1930s prioritized legalistic resistance (e.g speeches, court challenges) over mass mobilization. They rejected general strikes against Hitler even after the Reichstag fire. Also there was No mass uprising when Hitler dismantled civil liberties, the people and the parties had no coordinated strike network.

Guess what happened. Guess whats happening now.
