Why you should care about politics.

Six common claims for not giving a sh*t debunked.

1. I am apolitical.

Asexual means you aren’t involved in sex. So, apolitical means you aren’t involved in politics, right?

WRONG.

Politicians make the policies for the place in which you live. You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. You are one of it’s pawns.

Reality doesn’t disappear just because you ignore it. So, unlike being asexual, you are still getting f*cked here, dear Reader.

2. It is boring.

This is not even a real excuse. Politics is anything but boring. Bizarre? Painfully stupid? Gut wrenchingly embarrassing?

If you’ve ever enjoyed The Real World or Keeping up with the Kardashians or The Bachelor or John and Kate Plus 8 - AND YOU KNOW YOU HAVE - that is what this is.

Except it actually affects things like your paycheck so you have an excuse.

3. I have no time.

Take a moment to check your iPhone’s social media usage this week.

You have time.

4. I do not want to align myself with weirdos.

Too late. They have literally infected everything. From pop tarts to pop music. If you have an opinion on anything, there is a white supremacist Antifa puppy-killer out there who agrees with you.

This is just life, guys.

5. I can’t make a difference.

This is true. But if all 100 million or so of you who can’t even be bothered to vote once every four years would change direction, you could make a massive difference.

6. I do not want to be canceled.

Oh, but friend, you already are.
