      The very fact you’re able to do all of this is an effect of politics. And there are people that also would like to have similar rights to exist the way the feel is right for them, but they can’t.

        The very fact that they’re able to do all of this is also an effect of the mitochondria in their cells. But if people tell me to stop talking about mitochondria 24/7, then I should just find a group of other mitochondria enthusiasts to interact with instead of ranting about how I’m ““right”” to make everything about mitochondria.

      Some people do this and have a grand ole time with no concerns

      Some people do the exact same thing and have police called on them every time because they “must be up to something.”

      So yep, political.

      Freedom of association = (meeting with friends) that’s definitely political

      Barbecue = relatively safe to use and won’t explode because of government regulation, politics.

      Jalapeño poppers = safe to eat due to food safety standards, again politics.

      Conversation with friends = regulated by societal norms and acceptable behaviours, an output of the political environment - ‘let’s not talk about Trump or abortion to keep it “civil”’

      Games/books/puzzle = function of the economy regulated by the government and laws. Consumer protections etc etc

      I know you’re trying to be dismissive and funny but yeah…you’re just proving the point.
