Yeah, the same way atheism is a religion and "off" is a TV channel.
Individualism as a political philosophy would be smth like advocating for libertarianism/adjacent stuff, etc.
The apolitical stance is the apolitical stance. I do not engage in politics unless it's a minimum-effort activity like the default mail-in voting (WA). Sure, I may know approximately what the best way to organize society is, and if aliens landed and put me in charge I'd become political; but as it is, I do not care, mostly because it's not productive, but in no small part because actively caring about how to organize society is heavily correlated with being very wrong (IMHO).
