When someone replies to this and says 'stop making everything political' they mean to tell you to stop challenging the status quo (lemmy.world)

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.

Does anyone ever talk to you in real life?
