Yes you can decide not to mention the politics inherent in the thing but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. I’m wondering if the person I’m replying to can produce a thing where it truly isn’t there

But you can say that about anything. There are people whose whole expertise is one area of, say, film production.

You can talk about films and critically analyze them without doing a deep dive into how props are made. It’s OK to have separate contexts.

It isn’t a “gotcha” that “everything is political” - it just doesn’t matter when trying to do most things. It’s distracting and pointless; it’s a null statement.

You can talk about anything without having to include politics the same way you can discuss literature without examining types of paper.

It’s not null, it’s true and profound

In the “I’m 14 and this is deep” way, maybe. Nothing more.
