I don't know why anyone would choose to describe this as apolitical.

I must confess, neither do I. I hope that I did not inadvertently imply that I endorse the antecedent of the conditional:

if the non-involvement principle recommends against exercising laudable virtues, then the principle is a bad one

Edit: I did not mean to imply that I believed that you were implying that I did. I just wished to clarify, in order to negate the small-probability that such a miscommunication had occurred.
