There’s definitely a point to be made against constant hyper-awareness of politics, and for carefree relaxation with one’s fellows. That said, I feel that often the assertion that something specific is non-political can often come from a lack of insight into how one’s internalized ideological stances effect what one will perceive as political. Sort of like how, “common sense” is really more reflective of “commonly shared ideological frameworks” than actually a universal truth in most instances it is used.
Well on one hand yes, everything is technically in some way related to politics, on the other hand I don’t want to be constantly reminded and surprised (or not) by the new levels and ways people have managed to shittify the world that I’m going to have to put up with for the foreseeable future. It always seems to happen when I just want to play games or see something interesting or something else like that… Actually I’m not really ever in the mood for politics now that I think about it, it’s too full of harmful decisions for me to be happy with any of it.
