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.
I prefer a term that has bounds, but feel free to just throw it out if you want. I don't think everything is political. Political to me is how we run the public affairs of our society. I don't think children have a sufficient understanding of those structures to be able to form an opinion that should be included in that discourse.
I don't ask my 3 year old if my wife and I should file jointly or separately on our taxes. I will ask him his thoughts on what ice cream flavor we purchase.
Obviously not literally everything is political. The mass of the sun isn't a political matter. The sequence of all prime numbers isn't political. So the term very much has bounds. But as far as aspects of human interaction are concerned, in that realm everything is political. Politics isn't just the exact structures and variables of our current society, it's also the fundamental attitudes that determine which structures even exist. Much of which even a child can understand and have an informed opinion about.
I agree with you. If I had a child I would not involve them at all.
