  • Distancing from politics is a political act.

    Being embedded in a society formed by politics, they become beneficiary and victim to what others decide.

    I can empathize and understand why one would be apolitical. Some things need activism and political involvement, though. Investing the minimum is not that hard - if you at least know your sources. If they’re aware of being a beneficiary and there’s no immediate need for activism, I’m find with their political decision to be apolitical. If they ignore (glaring) issues, I may be a bit disappointed or sad.


  • I’m not sure if you expanded over broader society, but people of public institutions not making (public/visible) political remarks has good reasons: As representatives of the public institutions which are supposed to serve all citizens it’s important they are seen and trusted to be neutral and serving the state, the public, everyone.

    If public servants talk one way or the other, others may lose trust.

    Obviously, right now people are losing trust, and for good reasons, for other reasons and prevalence.
