Luckily, I never claim politics has nothing to do with me.
Politics, sanitation, planetary orbits all affect me, and I contribute. But I don’t necessarily care about them all.
Your central thesis, that there “is no neutral”, is unworkable. Examples that fly in the face of it abound. Carve out the special cases, like you did for children, and there will be nothing left.
If you believe it is unworkable, demonstrate it. I'm making the claim for the average adult participant in the socioeconomic system, so I believe there's plenty left.
You claim you don't care; let's grant that for the moment, even though your energetic participation here suggests otherwise. Nobody's saying people can't not care. They are saying that taking a "not caring" stance while both benefiting from the status quo and contributing to the status quo is in effect supporting the status quo.
If you want to support the status quo, godspeed. There are many good things about it. I only object to people pretending the status quo has nothing to do with them when they quite obviously are an active part of it.
