Oh, do I have so many choice colorful words I would love to yell at in Vietnamese.

    Politics also made all those civilisations.

    When a society all agrees not to eat all the potatoes now, but to plant some underground and wait for them to grow more potatoes, that’s politics.

    When an artist and a programmer agree to divide responsibilities and make a video game together, that’s politics.

    When a discord moderator decides to force everyone to agree to a no politics rule, that’s politics.

      I’m disagreeing with you, fundamentally:

      spirituality & religion ( those are separate dimensions ) & secular-projects & other motivations are real: it isn’t all politics.

      Political-motivation is a dimension, but an aweful lot of human action isn’t politically-motivated.

      Some people can’t tolerate that to be even-possible, of course…

      Planning isn’t self-inherently political.

      Some ideologues won’t ever allow that any human meaning exists outside of their ideology’s framing, & that’s that, though.
