People need something else to focus on. When everything is politics then politics is everything and it’s stupidly difficult to get people interested in doing anything positive.

And this is what I mean. Everything is very much not politics but if you politicize everything then by definition it becomes so. People need to stop doing that.

What's an example of something that's not politics but is politicized?

You’ve already asserted that there are no valid answers to that question. Why did you bother asking?

It’s hard to avoid politics when giving kids lunch at school is fucking political for some reason.
There is a group to blame for politicizing everything, and it is disingenuous to blame ‘people’ in general instead of that group in particular.
