Politics is war by other means (Clausewitz), then that would mean everything in life is warfare too.

I guess these silly generalizations can go on ad infinitum and we end up with every concept A describes any situation B.

It reminds me of what happens to the numbers if we allow for 2 + 2 = 5 to be true. Effectively 1 will end up being equal to 0, and since every number multiplied by 1 is it self, and every number multiplied by 0 is 0, we end up with all numbers being equal to 0. Effectively rendering them useless.

It doesn't have to be, if people are willing to compromise.

If people were willing to compromise then it wouldn't have become a political issue to begin with.
