To understand why there’s so much politics, it’s worth taking a step back. Lots of people in Lemmy understand that politics is simply how political goods are distributed.
What are political goods? Anything that people value: material resources, labor, ideas, attention, significance, etc…
So, if attention and significance are political goods, can you come up with a single thing that is not a political good and therefore isn’t political?
“Everything is politics” is an “um ackshually.” It’s technically true but you know damn well they’re talking about partisan politics or ideological politics.
You’re running apologia for people who can’t go on a thread about cake without posting a Trump joke or a Communist slogan. Mainstream social media proportionally does not have nearly as many of these people.
