life in only two dimensions
it's when you are presented with no more than two choices ever as though there were only two sides or only two possible positions on all of life's most complex issues...

both sides are really screwed up but one of them acts like it's never ever wrong and this works to tug at the heart strings of soccer moms and ignorant but well meaning kids and gain their sympathies

anti-political

Anti-political thought and action (or antipolitics) views the social world as separate from and in polar opposition to the political world. For the anti-political activist, one’s moral conduct takes precedence over any alignment with established political channels, often with an emphasis on individual liberty in the face of perceived "authoritarian" political arrangements. The social world is viewed as natural, the political world as artificial and oppressive. One example would be Occupy Wall Street, where putting forward political demands was given low priority in favor of creating a communal "festival of resistance."

The term dates to the 19th century. The anarchist Mikhail Bakunin argued for "social (and therefore anti-political) organization." Other figures who could be considered anti-political include Mahatma Gandhi and Vaclav Havel.
