      You shouldn’t see politics as only the bad things in the world. Politics is your gender too, and your gender is great. Politics is great stuff too.

        my gender is political only because some people decided to hate it. They forced me to stay closeted for years

        politics can be about great stuff, but there are specific communities for those already

          Well, My gender is a social construct created from the ideas of the society in which I live. My gender arises from the politics of a particular time and place, informed by all of the culture and myth and history that came before. My gender is part of the memetic evolution of the zeitgeist. My gender is incredibly cool because of how political it is, and if it weren’t political, I’d be so so bored with it.

            while culture and history are influenced by politics, it isnt their only influence

            an average person would probably refer to them as different things

              Politics is group decision making. Culture is group decision making concerning intangible things. History is group decision making in the past.
