You realize that “apolitical” is an extremely well-known nazi dog-whistle / pure apologetics these days, right? I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy framework, that’s your call to make, and my threshold-to-nazi is clearly different from yours, but I do think people should at least look at who they’re in bed with.
Sure everything has a definition.
Like antropsophy - doesn’t mean it makes sense.
IMO there is no such thing as “apolitical”. Organisations or projects where money or resources flow are automatically political. Because where are the resources or the money coming from?
There is a political movement opposing the making and selling of sheep cheese:
Veganism
-> the ethical part of it is political.
How much do you pay the workers selling the cheese?
-> political
How are you allowed to buy sheep? Online? In a package? Are you allowed to clone it?
-> political
How many taxes do you pay - how much does “big sheep”?
-> political
So while it mostly is not a political act of you to sell the sheep-cheese there are a lot of political questions surrounding the selling of it.
It can however also be a political act: selling sheep’s milk at a religious event that is strictly against sheep’s being milked by humans can be seen as a form of protest.
I notice you glossed over all the other political aspects of selling sheep cheese that they listed.
The price is political. Who you sell to is political. Who milks the sheep is political. Zoning for sheep grazing is political. Property is political. Feed is political. Animal welfare is political. Owning animals is political. It’s all politics, all the way down.
Any time people are involved, politics follow. “Apolitical” is a lie told by people who want their politics to just be “normal”.
Well, if you go deep down like that, indeed everything is political. Then let’s be more concrete. What political aspect of Omarchy itself do you find appaling. Let me hear of it. No not the guy developing it. You said, everything is political so tell me what is the political nature of Omarchy itself that is to be opposed.
It literally advertises itself as “opinionated” and is being pushed as “non-woke” (whatever the fuck that means). It’s funded by Cloudfare, not simply because the distro needs money, but also because the developer is opposed to torrenting. It has closed-source chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok pre-installed into it. These are all political positions and choices.
And it’s certainly a political choice to give your money to it and wear the merch (which are just advertisements you pay for the privilege to wear). Don’t be surprised if someone assumed you’re a Nick Fuentes fan if they recognize your swag.

apolitical is also a word with a definition

So absolutely every commercial activity is “political”? What is the political nature of selling sheep cheese for example?

Veganism may be political, but to construe selling sheep cheese as a political statement against veganism is absurd.
