Politics affects everything and everything affects politics. There is a political character to even simple things, as their existence and your propensity to interact with them and the way you interact with them are all contingent on societal structures. For example, what you were taught growing up will partially determine how much you jaywalk (a very cool way to break the law imo). Your phone exists due to a very complex and violent supply chain. When you take a walk to enjoy the sun, it’s still political - where do you walk? The built environment is largely constructed to the whims of capitalism. Do you see anyone else on your walk? Why or why not? All of society’s patterns are heavily impacted by economic factors.
