If you know everything is political, then you know you said something silly. Take the correction, move on, and do better next time. Denigrating politics has dangerous consequences.
The word politics is more useful to misogynist gamers and incels than it is to anyone else. You certainly weren’t using it for anything productive. I believe we should make the word useless for everyone.
Politics is a very clear content type what the fuck are you on about?
I’m not saying politics like “if a game has a brown person that’s politics”. That’s wrong - a brown person in a game is political because Republicans can’t accept that diversity is real.
I’m saying if your entire feed is politics like “Today the White House said Palestinians aren’t people” and “Today Trump tweeted incoherent nonsense again! Can you believe it” or “Marjorie Taylor Greene is being outrageous again: watch this video and be mad!”
That’s politics. Everything is political - absolutely. That’s different than politicians and politicking.
Politics as generally used is activities associated with the governance of a country.
You don’t know what politics means. But you’re right to say everything is political.
That’s news. We already have a name for that kind of content, it’s news. What do you want to use the word politics for when we already have the word news?
Everything is political. That’s not what I mean about politics.

If everything is political = politics then the term politics wouldn’t be useful because it would mean everything.
You misunderstood me, took your shot, and missed.
Move on. Do better next time.
