English is a funny language… terms and phrases can mean more than one thing based on usage.
Take “I’m apolitical”, for example.
When it expresses that you only care about this quarter’s profits while the planet burns, it means “I’m stupid.”
When it’s that you can’t be bothered about the plight of people less fortunate than you, it means “I’m privileged” and “fuck you, I got mine.”
And when it shows that you’re neutral about – and thus actively complicit in – genocide, it means “I’m evil.”
What a language, eh?

If you have apolitical in your profile, I probably will block you as soon as I see it as to me that word is now synonymous with being fine with fascists as long as they don't impact you.

#BLS is respected because it has been #apolitical and focused on producing #quality stats. This #felon #turd had to #destroy it.

It is most definitely a #privilege to claim you are #apolitical when #humanrights, #human #safety, and human #life are on the table. It’s #insensitive and #outrageous to claim such. You can’t be apolitical towards #genocide and if you are then you simply don’t care.

Great presentation this morning at #FWD50 from Jesse Samasuwo on #gov adoption of #AI. I love the leadership that Jesse and the folks at @apolitical.bysk.social bring to #government. @fwd50conf.bsky.social is one of my favorite conferences. #Apolitical

The moment anyone calls themselves apolitical, you can disregard anything else that comes out of their mouths. What's that, oh 'apolitical' person? You don't care about the price of bread? Not upset about gas or pollution or how hot the days are? You don't mind tripping over potholes every day?
Be honest. Don't say you're apolitical. Say "I don't want to engage with this topic." Say "I'm fine with the status quo." Say "I'm happy with things the way they are, no matter how many people are suffering, and don't want others to harsh my vibe."
Say 'moo.'
(With apologies to any cowfolk reading.)

One interpretation of the Hegseth/Trump Quantico lecture to the top US military is that they aimed to humiliate them, establish dominance.
"Hey boys, we've ordered you here today to make it clear that you're lackeys to an incompetent grifter-felon-child-abuser and a glory-hound drunkard army-reject."

Already, the remarks by #Trump & #Hegseth are drawing criticism from former #military officials. “I couldn’t be prouder of our highest ranking leaders for maintaining an #apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton.
He added, “#PeteHegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals & admirals to rant about facial hair & brag about how many pull-ups he can do, & have Donald Trump sleepwalk through a list of partisan gripes.”
[that sums it up well]

For fascists being apolitical is a political orientation too.

Seriously: there has never been a time in the entire history of the #Catholic #Church when the #papacy wasn't a #political position. The new #Pope's politics don't line up exactly with the #American political spectrum, and neither did the last one's, but that hardly makes them #apolitical. You can't "politicize" someone who's already there.

It’s curious to watch some #hamradio operators torture logic to remain “#apolitical” even as #fcc is planning to undermine the regulatory framework of licensure. ‘“Your silence will not protect you.” - Audre Lorde

I find it truly astonishing how so many of y'all will only listen to people who share your views and refuse to listen to anyone else. You should really learn about this thing called "open discussion".
Hell, better yet, do like me and don't say anything at all. I have my own thoughts and opinions, but I want to have a pleasant space here, so I'm not gonna say anything about it.
#Centrism is not enabling fascism, we obviously don't just repeat "I don't care" at the face of every political question and let Nazis steamroll over us, it's just that we've heard this bullshit over and over again and would rather move onto something more than slinging mud at each other.
I'm not even talking to any specific side here, left or right. I'm just saying, discuss politics in a civil manner instead of blocking every opposing opinion and returning to your echo chamber.
If you're gonna block me for this, good fucking riddance.
