      yes I wrote “literally everything” but that does’nt mean that I meant “literally everything”

      I can accept that

      ok so now that we’ve established that there are things that aren’t political, it makes sense to say “don’t make everything political”, because there are in fact things that aren’t political (yet). however responding “literally everything is political, if you think otherwise, you’re profiting from the system” doesn’t make sense, since there are non political things

        I don’t have time to explain how you moved the goal posts from:

        Everything is politics does not literally mean all matter is comprised of politics (I.e. atoms are a thing)

        To

        Atoms exists therefore there are social issues that aren’t political.

        All social issues remain political even in a world with atoms.

        Edit: turns out I did have time.

          Atoms exists therefore there are social issues that aren’t political.

          I never said that and this isn’t my opinion.

          you didn’t say “every social issue is political” (which I agree with btw), you said “everything is political”. and since “everything” includes atoms, they are either political and you’re right or they’re not and you’re wrong.

      “literally everything is political”

      ok then, can you remove the hyperbole and tell me the result?

      (spoiler: they wont)
