How do people live without being political? Everything is political. How do you live with someone who doesn’t in fact know much about you if they don’t know this?
A lot of people are weirdly comfortable with their lives and don’t feel like anything is structurally wrong. If they have issues they blame themselves or fate. You’ll hear a common refrain from them like, “I just want to focus on my own life.” They’re completely atomized and yet prefer it that way.
This is the majority of white Americans, by the way.
