    the whole idea that discussing politics is lame is a neoliberal brainworm.

    Don’t discuss politics with your family, just enjoy the time! — okay weird but sure

    Don’t talk politics with your friends — what the hell why not

    No politics at work — that’s a deeply political place wtf are we doing

      Don’t yell about politics in the work place. Just complaining about straw men is tiring.

      The cranky unhappy politics wonk endlessly droning on about the evils of the world are a drain on everyone else’s joy.

        Politics means the dealings of the city. It means the people and their lives. We’ve been conditioned to immediately believe political is equal to electoralism, which is a lie.

        Politics is unionizing, it’s feeding your neighbors, it’s organizing community gardens and sing alongs, it’s starting a mutual aid network to ensure every need is met. It’s all these and million more things.
