But how would you tell someone of the world’s politics without it?

You don’t seem to agree, but it’s kind of incontrovertible.

All communication is rhetoric. The way that you stand, the clothes you present, the style of speech you adopt—but rhetoric is just the name for all of that.

Colloquially, political just means something is more terse than usual.

But that’s the thing I’m arguing about. The usual, the normal, is still at odds with the fringes. There is no debate between the political instigators and normal, apolitical society, who would like to return to a time when trans people weren’t in movies (or blacks, or women)—there is only politics.

I’m just saying, a lot of people are afraid to rock the boat, and they need to get off that shit.
