non-political is political. Do you imagine that there aren't people making political TikToks? Or that non-political themes don't affect politics? Or that bubble control doesn't affect politics?

>Non-political is political

Is war also peace and freedom also slavery?

> Is war also peace

Si vis pacem, para bellum

> freedom also slavery

Total freedom for one includes their ability to enslave others.

My point is, you’re presenting false dichotomies to justify another (the political and the non-political).

Sorry, what? How are my dancing Korean girls and cat videos affecting politics?

catskul2's comment was very ambiguous, but a charitable interpretation of the first part

> non-political is political. Do you imagine that there aren't people making political TikToks?

is that you are indeed in a filter bubble of non-political content which exists alongside political content. One example of political content on TikTok within the larger Israel-Hamas war topic was the brief trend of commenting on Osama bin Laden's manifesto called "Letter to America" [1]. If you were (not saying that you are) knowingly ignoring the existence of political content on a specific topic on TikTok, then you would be making an inherently political decision (which does not mean that you should change your decision).

It's confusing, but I think I can explain. If you are able to enjoy your life and not worry about something for any period of time, you are actually making a political statement that everyone else is wrong and you think they deserve to die. Every problem in the world must be your problem too, forever and always.

You're focusing on them instead of politics. "Panem et circenses" is a political tactic.
