What's bad about being apolitical?

[Shiningtempest]

I see political parties as dogmatic & cult-like. I also see content creators who specialize on politics as dogmatic & cult-like as well. Thus, I'd rather have nothing to do with politics.

Because if you’re apolitical then it means that you’re no longer on the hamster wheel. That in and of itself makes you a threat to the system. The system banks on it that people get very invested in politics and take them very seriously.

Its bad as politics dictate your entire life and future.

So you should at least care who you vote for and what their agenda and solutions may be.

@Astarlessnightsky Caring about who I vote for & what their agenda & solutions may be are distracting to my life.

I wouldn't say it's "bad", but like it or not, politics has a fairly big effect on your world, and in my opinion, it's good to know the truth about what's going on around you.

[Shiningtempest]

@loveslongnails I'll be fine not knowing the truth about what's going on around me because ignorance is bliss.

Whatever floats your boat.

When you stop paying attention, something will pass that will affect you personally and you will be forced back into it kicking and screaming. That is how most people get into it.

[Shiningtempest]

@Snakeyes7 I won't take part in politics because I see it as dogmatic & massive waste of my time.

[Snakeyes7]

Maybe so, but at least you are more likely to die for what you believe than living on your knees bowing to a tyrant for the rest of your life.

[Shiningtempest]

@Snakeyes7 Considering my limited faith in humanity, I have no faith in political parties. Thus, I'll be okay being apolitical.

[Snakeyes7]

I don't have any faith in either party either. That's why I would rather them not be involved in the average citizen's life.

We are living in the age of even the way you like your eggs cooked is a political issue.
