>Living "outside of politics" means having no self-preservation instinct

It's also a privilege enjoyed by those who are allowed to think of their normal lives and needs as "nonpolitical".

There are people living in the US for whom "I would like not to get murdered for no reason" is a political opinion.




Of course it's political. Politics is the argument over the distribution of the use of coercive power in society.

People should not be murdered by the establishment without consequence, and the fact it happens regularly is an indictment to our culture and society.
