Politics are in everything everywhere. You can’t excape it. Every decision you make has an effect. You can try to downplay it, but everything ultimately matters in ways you’re unlikely to completely comprehend. It’s best to assume everything you do, big and small, has some effect on the world and it matters.

I fart, a small amount of methane escapes into the atmosphere and that accumulates with all the other methane and eventually contributes to the climate crisis that asphyxiates some phytoplankton that contributes to producing the 98% of the oxygen on Earth, and that ultimately asphyxiates my niece in the future. Her genetic line dies and her progeny might have been the scientist that ultimately figured out time travel, breaking time space continuum into a traversable space, irreversibly changing the course of all of history, not to mention human history.

All because I didn’t hold in my fart, this never happens, and time traversal is never discovered, and all life ultimately dies with the heat death of the universe, instead of living immortally in an ever expanding loop of time/space across all of eternity.

Now extrapolate how important it is when you actually do something intentional. Politics are inevitable, it fucking matters. You can’t choose not to be a part of it. So fucking try and at least be intentional about it.
