@aral Every single one of the people who I know who claim to be apolitical are affected. Several by racism or sexism. They want to do the things that are meaningful for them. Not ruminate on political problems. Remember: the brain surgeon isn't an idiot. He just has brain surgery tomorrow and he needs a good night's rest.

It's a pretty dehumanizing brush to say they are fine with the worst injustices. They aren't. They also aren't interested in leading the life of an activist.
