Eurovision desperately trying and failing to keep the Song Festival free from politics proves what every marginalized person already knows: Everything is political. Life is political.

@JoSuus Apolitical means political in the interests of the powerful.

@aral @JoSuus I liked Howard Zinn’s analogy: “you can’t be neutral on a moving train” https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/you-cant-be-neutral-book

@JoSuus so is death

que,

@JoSuus just because you can't make 100% of a goal doesnt mean you shouldn't try?

@que If you get the point it's not even a good goal.

que,

@JoSuus i think trying to keep politics out of various parts of life is worth a shot, even if we dont always succeed.. maybe I missed your point - could you expand for me?

@que @JoSuus You can never keep politics out of your life, you can only choose not to try and affect the politics for some reason. It’s like being ‘neutral’ when someone attacks someone else: in reality you are siding with the attacker.

@JoSuus my late father-in-law used to say "Politics is the food on your table".
