If we go by this logic that every single thing that exists is political or has some political values does that mean we can't post at all outside of CE then. If we go by this logic.

And yes, people on social media think everything is inherently political. Even posting food or cat photos is.

Seems like the more our collective material conditions worsen, the more politicized things get.

Not just social media. During covid I wore a mask that said correctional officer on it and eventually I was told I couldn't wear it. I asked why and they said we couldn't wear anything political. I'm like it's literally my job title.

Yeah I face palm everytime there is a topic that literally has nothing to do with politics and someone has to bring up Trump Biden or whoever

I could see the argument from a philosophical perspective, if you tried to define politics in a general way, like human struggle or something like that.

But generally people who retreat into "everything is politics" just saw that on a bumper sticker and think it means "it's actually encouraged to bring up controversial social issues whenever the hell I want."

Yes, it's very obvious mods are deliberately doing it now to kill the board

On some level, virtually everything definitely CAN BE political. It doesn't always need to be, nor is that always the intention. There are absolutely things that someone might post - not thinking it's political - that is absolutely political.

"social media" is not a monolithic entity, OP.

Some users of social media contend that everything is political, and to an extent they're correct. Social media itself is the result of decades of innovation, patents, investment, lobbying, safeguards, disposable income and time, taxing, manufacturing, transportation, environmental considerations, etcetcetc. All of those things are absolutely political.

Everything is inherently political, but in a more subtle, technical sense. Like, every single one of the resources you use is dependent on the function of countless interrelated networks, all involved with several layers of government in some way or other. You don't drink a cup of water without it either being filtered and sourced by some utility business, or getting it from a well on your real estate, or from publically funded water fountains, or even from a fresh stream out in the woods, because those woods are either protected lands or slowly being chemically poisoned because of awful environmental policies.

If politics is taken to mean relationships to power, rather than simple 'party politics', there are few things worthy of discussion that are not touched by it.

All art and media, for instance.

Yea I'd argue a lot of things, if not all things, have a political angle to them.

Like, the thoughts, words, and actions we take are influenced by our environment and upbringing, which in turn are influenced by the politics of the people who were in those circles.

Praising our Fandom overlords is never a political statement.

You literally picked games that are 100% political, because they're entirely based on arcade culture.
