    Yeah there’s not really anything in existence that we know of that isn’t political if you look hard enough.

    If it’s something that we humans know of, it’s already inherently political in some way.

      That’s because politics is group decision making, and nobody talks about things that don’t require a group decision on some level.

      A random rock in a field isn’t political. But a rock that’s fouling the harvester or that’s particularly nice looking is political, because people have to make decisions about it. Even if the decision is just to appreciate its beauty together.
