I've never really understood the "LGBTQ rights/anti-racism/human rights aren't politics" crowd
Like, what part of politics *doesn't* have immense consequences on people's lives? If my rights are being debated in parliament, and different political parties have different opinions on them, that's politics!
serious answer
@mossfet A lot of people seem to understand "politics" as a sort of abstract "thing that politicians do", like they're debates for the purpose of debate because that's what politicians do, rather than it being about its effects on society
