@aral There's something I saw on Twitter once - can't remember who from, but it stuck with me. It was something like:

White is apolitical, black is political
Straight is apolitical, queer is political
Cis is apolitical, trans is political

and so on. Only if you're in a privileged group can you say that your existence is apolitical. Everyone outside the privileged groups has no choice.

@RolloTreadway @aral
"to be apolitical is to be right-wing" is not really new

Oh, I like that! Fits well with a lot of other observations about society: politics is the mechanism of peaceful change, and change threatens those who have something to lose.

@RolloTreadway @aral this is a common joke on reddit when making fun of gamers and what kind of games they consider political.

@RolloTreadway @aral To be "apolitical" means to be stupid. Everything is political: there‘s not a single question in our life (and death) that is not a political question.
