Stay out of politics and religion

Go fuck yourself Ed Sheeran! Ginger fucking faggot! THAT! That right there is why Taylor is fucking Travis instead of you!
Ed Sheeran "Muh daddy told me 'Stay out of politics and religion' lalala I'm a ginger fairy!"

Hym "No... No. Participating in politics is my DUTY as a citizen and I'm a devout Pandeist Gnostic! I NEED to disparage their incest cult as a part of my religion! Because as Thomas Payne said 'To a Deist, the word of God is written in the laws of the universe and to Hym all scripture is a forgery.' And as a Gnostic I believe your God is evil. I have a RIGHT to express my religious views and this all perfectly coincides with things I've said in the past! Wait... Was that an Ed Sheeran song? You know what? I don't care."

Hard Problem of Politics

The problem of collective decision-making under irreconcilable pluralism. Politics aims to organize societies where people have fundamentally different values, beliefs, and desires. The hard problem is that no system can fairly aggregate these preferences without violating some core principle (like majority rule trampling minority rights, or consensus leading to paralysis). Every political theory—democracy, liberalism, socialism—has a fatal flaw when implemented in a world of real, diverse humans. The search for a perfectly just and stable system may be logically impossible, condemning us to a perpetual, messy negotiation between order and freedom, equality and excellence.
Example: A community must decide: Build a hospital or a school? The sick and elderly prefer the hospital; families with kids prefer the school. A vote creates a winner and a resentful loser. Compromise (a smaller version of each) may satisfy no one fully. The hard problem: There is no "correct" answer discoverable by reason or science. Any decision will impose someone's values on someone else. Politics is the arena where this irreducible conflict plays out, not to be solved, but to be managed. The ideal system is a mirage; the best we can do is avoid civil war while bickering endlessly. Hard Problem of Politics.

The perspective that the entire arena of politics—left vs. right, the issues that matter, the very idea of what government should do—is not a reflection of natural human divisions, but a constructed battlefield. Ideologies, parties, and political identities are built over time through media, education, and leaders to organize conflict, allocate resources, and give meaning to social life.
Example: "The 'culture war' issue of the 1850s was slavery. Today it's gender identity. The Theory of Constructed Politics says the fundamental conflict isn't natural; the battleground is constructed. Political elites and media build salience around certain issues to mobilize groups, constructing 'us vs. them' around whatever symbols and fears will hold a coalition together at the time."

The analysis of how intimate, private relationships (romantic, familial, friendly) are fundamentally shaped by, and in turn shape, larger political power structures, ideologies, and economic realities. It asserts that the personal is not just political; the personal is a microcosm of the political. Who does the dishes, how a couple budgets, or what is discussed (or silenced) at the dinner table are all enactments of class, gender, and cultural power dynamics.
Theory of Politics Under the Covers Example: A "progressive" man who still expects his female partner to handle all the emotional labor and mental load of the household is practicing Politics Under the Covers. His public ideology clashes with the private, lived political economy of his relationship, revealing that his beliefs haven't conquered his ingrained social programming about gender roles.
