    Freedom of association = (meeting with friends) that’s definitely political

    Barbecue = relatively safe to use and won’t explode because of government regulation, politics.

    Jalapeño poppers = safe to eat due to food safety standards, again politics.

    Conversation with friends = regulated by societal norms and acceptable behaviours, an output of the political environment - ‘let’s not talk about Trump or abortion to keep it “civil”’

    Games/books/puzzle = function of the economy regulated by the government and laws. Consumer protections etc etc

    I know you’re trying to be dismissive and funny but yeah…you’re just proving the point.

      If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail. If jalapeno poppers make you think of politics I think I can understand why someone would ask you to ease off the politics
