Personal is political?
Get this reduction ad absurdio with "everything is political" the fuck out of here.
Learn your history
Is this a new type of bot? Not sure I like it.
Everything is political. The person you responded to was trying to give an explanation, they wrote 3 words and a question mark. Whether they're correct or not doesn't matter, they were contributing.
Get your aggressive attitude and demand, like you're some form of authority, the fuck out of here. It's not conducive to a healthy community or discussion. Your aggression removed the possibility of discussion, not them.
Yikes. Time to put the phone down until you can be civil.
How is it contradictory?
If everything is political, there is no distinct element of political, hence nothing is political.
It's a fallacy. And it's fucking stupid as shit.
"Everything is political" is not self contradictory.
It's merely the notion that in this current interconnected world, where global markets, macro economics and geopolitics spill over into media, marketing, trade, local economy, local governance, even the personal, onto the individual even, or indeed into the community, then it is reasonable to say that everything is political - because everything has been politicized in how everything has become so intertwined.
It seems though that some people don't want focus on some political areas, because they want to draw benefit from blind spots, in order to assure that special interests alone holds influence over those areas - in a way trying to "depoliticize" - or deter democratization - for their own benefit.
In any case, politics is by it's purest definition about how we deal with each other. When that then also deals with everything that touches your personal life, your family life, your community, culture, etc - it's pretty safe to say that everything is political.
Yeah, I just accidentally posted this here instead of the shitpost comm while six eggnogs deep. You are fully wearing the "ackshually, everything is political!" clown costume :/
