Being apolitical is just accepting status quo which is, funnily enough, also an explicit political stance.

You can vote without having 70 % of your feed filled with the fucked up USA politics.

To be fair, voting is less than the bare minimum effort required to enact meaningful change.

And how can you know what meaningful change even is without staying on top of current events?

I can stay on top of current events without needing to see 28485838283 memes about how big Kamala's dick is, or how small Trump's is, or how Israel is doing bad things to palistine. Memes are the bumper stickers of the internet, they do not inform people about anything except the OPs opinions or sense of humor.

You just equated blocking c/politics with being broadly pro status quo. You can be politically engaged and active and not like the discussions on c/politics.

No, i equated being apolitical with being pro status quo. Being apolitical was implied by not wanting to hear about politics and reaching "inner peace" as a result.
