I think I've lost your meaning of shit/ty. It sounds like everything is shit. Life is shit, you're born, you suffer, you die shitty, etc. Which sounds edgy but doesn't really mean anything. What do you mean by shit/ty?
And at this point totally fair to call it here on this thread. It's just my gut reaction to your response.
Yeah a lot of things are shit. It's weird to put politics (of all things) on a pedestal and try to see the world through the shittiest of lenses. There are plenty of things the world that are actually good and trying to make everything about politics is just making things shitty that otherwise wouldn't be.
Yeah that's a bit of a strawman. The only people "putting politics on a pedestal" are human characatures, like people who's whole identity is worshipping Trump are to conservatives or "alpha males" to men.
Anyway I already gave my take on politics being a property more than a lens.
