In my experience, the people saying "the ability to not pay attention to politics is privilege" are typically privileged rich white women, not oppressed minorities - those people don't like talking about politics in knitting club. Just a sample size of one.

And in my experience, it's trans people, DACA recipients, people with dark skin, and people who identify as queer.

Let's make my sample size 2, then. How privileged are you?

Very. I can choose to ignore politics for the rest of my days and I probably won't notice any difference in my day-to-day life.

Political involvement is dominated by the privileged

Likewise, not everyone has the privilege of dragging politics into every facet of their lives. Many people like me were bullied by groups when they were younger. And these supposed "anti-hate" mobs look an awful lot like those bullies.
