I don’t think anybody’s more or less political than anybody else. To suggest otherwise is, it seems to me, a rhetorical trick for keeping people catastrophically unaware of their own moral power. And yet, there is such a thing as becoming politicized. Becoming politicized means realizing that, while you weren’t thinking about “politics,” politics was thinking about you. I think a lot of people who look like me have experienced this realization anew (or perhaps for the first time) over the last few days & years.
