Agreed. Politics is a natural process for us humans. We engage in politics when we raise our hand to be called on in class, or even when we blurt out our answer. We engage in politics when we decide what information should be public, internal, and confidential at work. We engage in politics when we decide to vote on representatives.

Money is just a medium for stored value, a status provided by collective agreement. Money isn’t inherently political, but it’s often used politically. Funds are often produced or withheld based on political considerations. This is usually fine when it’s money leaving our political system. The bigger problem is when the considerations are set by monolithic entities pushing money into our political system.
