    They see everything through a political lens.

    IMO everything is, in fact, political.

    The problem is seeing everything to an irrational and wrong political lens.

      I get where you’re coming from, but it’s possible to have pleasant meaningful conversations without getting into politics. Politics are important, but learning to connect outside of that context is an important life skill, too.

        My problem is not that, but those that demand that every interaction must be free of politics because the cannot deign to care about the world or other people.

      Oh my god dude look up what “lens” means.

      Like, you can look at everything through the lens of subatomic physics. And you can look through other lenses too. The existence of the other lenses does not imply the lack of existence or even ubiquity of the subatomic realm.

        The “lens” that considers certain people less than human or devoid of rights is not a valid viewpoint, is antisocial and it doesn’t deserve respect.

        That idiom only works with relative terms.

        “When everyone is rich, then no one will be”

        Not “When everyone is blond, then no one will be”
