there is nothing wrong with being apolitical.

that upsets people who are very political, because those people are different than they are. and they don't like that. political people derive meaning and purpose from political viewpoints and actions. apolitical people don't.

it's not any different than those who believe in God demanding those who don't believe in God must believe in him. it is very hard for someone who cares a lot about a thing, and derives their meaning and purpose in life from that thing, that that thing doesn't matter or exist for someone else.

what it boils down to is 'us vs them'. political people see non political people as 'them' and also see those who don't agree with their politics as 'them'. my dad was very political, but very conservative, is that better than him being apolitical and not voting? i'd have liked him better actually, since he spent most nights at the dinner table talking about how women should not be able to vote and all liberals and non-whites should be shot.

i don't like sports. lots of people who like sports and get very upset that i don't care about sports, often to the point my disinterest is considered a hostile attitude towards them personally.

that's how i feel about political people vs a apolitical people. political people are 'offended' that apolitical people exist and they are offended by me for not being upset that they exist like they are. I'm not apolitical either. But I respect people's choices to be different than me. I choose to vote in all elections, local or national, and spending my free time being 'informed' and frankly, I realize that I am a weirdo. and i don't get upset at people who don't vote like i do, or don't vote at all. i also don't get on my high horse at people for not knowing what i know.
