Oh sure. eating meat, not eating meat, eating bugs. Additives, super processed, HFC’s, plastics in food, environmental impacts of food production, nitrates, food packaging. Nothing at all reaches into politics on that. Ethnic foods.
eating meat -> vegetarianism/carnivorism -> environmentalism/global climate change/ethical treatment of animals/ethical treatment of humans -> politics
additives/plastics in food -> government regulation of ingredients/maximum allowed pollution levels/rules limiting plastic packaging -> small/big government/regulation vs. personal freedom -> politics
ethnic food -> immigration/integration/multiculturalism/isolationism/white cultural genocide -> politics
I don’t know why there should be a divide on beliefs about climate change between Republican/Democrat political parties, but given that there certainly currently is, climate change and everything related is now political speech.
Yeah I worded it imprecisely - I was l looking for a topic that could potentially not involve politics, because lol you are absolutely right that there is nothing at all that is safe from political implications.
Ok so like a topic that if you bring up is not more than likely to turn into a political discussion. I think thats more about the people than the subject. A lot of geek things will remain about geek things when talking with geeks but someone can politicize em im sure.
Not quite, b/c as you said that is also extremely unlikely as well. I meant more like something that is not immediately guaranteed to instantly turn into politics. Food, as you mentioned, could, and perhaps among certain people may even be likely to, but it is not guaranteed to (proof: a previous post here).
But most topics these days (caveat: centered around the USA, as in appropriate to make a post here about) feel like they would fairly quickly if not instantly turn political.
