Like, hate me by all means, but at least know what it is you hate. Don’t say “antifa are the real fascists”. Don’t call me a “socialist liberal anarchist tankie”. For fucks sake, Marxism isn’t “forcing people to wear a mask”. This shit makes me wanna warp to another galaxy.

    Why should they be left out?

    "affected" should not be a sufficient condition to entry. They should be left out because politics are complex concepts. Of course the more you define "politics" to include basic human rights, these lines will be blurred. That's why I used concepts like abortion and funding in my comment. Kids saying "everyone should have healthcare" is not political either imo.

      The statement "everyone should have healthcare" is absolutely a political statement, as it relates to the way we structure society. Because we don't live in a world in which everyone has healthcare, or even one in which everyone agrees that everyone should have it, it's even a controversial political statement.

      And in what world are human rights not a political matter?
