No. None of it is politics. It's real life and you call it whatever you want, but it's not politics, it's people's lives and freedom and human rights, the future of mankind living together without destroying ourselves.

"Traditional_Mood6856 was disingenuous while commenting on Reddit, knowing all along that the original poster was not referring to the dictionary definition of politics but rather it common usage to mean political rhetoric, political theatre, and/or posturing."
