Nope. Doesn't have to be. I don't have to care about your opinions, I don't have to like you, I don't have to be jockeying to have someone like me more than they like you.
You give me a bit of information. I give you one. We keep at it while the exchange seems productive. People browsing instead of web browsing. Call that politics if you like, but I'd consider it an abuse of the term.
Hm.
On your view, what ought "politics" refer to?
Whatever it is, it's not "all human interaction".
La wik
I think the more than 2 people involved is key. If you and I are just talking, maybe we're just exchanging information. "What time is the bus coming?" "At 4". "Thanks". It's just misuse of language to call that political. And even if I want you to like me, so I try to influence your opinion of me, that still strikes me as non political. Politics most clearly comes in a 3+player game with alliances.
OK, thanks for clarifying.
You're getting close to denial there. The geek social fallacies are fallacies. You can wish for human interaction not to work like it does, and angrily declaim that it damn well shouldn't work like it does, but it still does.
That whole page seems like nonsense to me. Who do they think believes all that stuff?
What fact of reality am I getting close to denying? Are you busy politicking here? I'm not. I'm talking to you. I don't see enough substance here to bother politicking, and doubt we have any audience to politic over.
