This is in no way a Political thread, just the topic is politics.
I have a large amount of friends who dislike politics, don't like talking, or thinking about them or don't even like them in general. I can clearly understand why people hate talking about politics because it is a personal choice. But to not even like politics in general to me just sounds horrible, it has done so much for us and we should all understand it. I mean let's think about it, with out democracy the modern world would not exist (created by the Romans). As well the pilgrims would not have decided to declare independence from England thus making the United States of America. As well politics everything from the cost of food to how we are viewed around the world. It is something that goes so deep into who we are that should not everyone take a look at it and try and understand it a bit?
I would like to hear peoples opinions, views (person) and anyone else you may know.
EDITED: I have noticed 2 things I should have pointed out or said while making this. We are discussing the idea of Politics not Politicians. Second I am thinking some people do not like politics that is wrong and I have noted it, people don't like discussing politics.But I do quote often hear that people just aren't interested in politics. As well what do you think some people don't like talking about it for, simply because they don't like to argue a point of view?
However, a lot of my friends say they dislike it, primarily because it's just so confusing.
Everyone wants to live their simple and already somewhat routine lives. And I know almost everyone can admit to that. But according to my friends, when something as complex and complicated as politics is added into the equation, then life can complex and they say just can't handle it, so they choose to just ignore it while they can, and deal with it when they are at least old enough to vote (which most of them still are).
It can be complex and progressive, immense amount of researching work has to be done to keep up to date with current affairs. To be able to engage in discussions of politics, contextual knowledge is needed to keep things going. It's also a skill that has to be adopted since young. However for many, it seems a little late to make a change, though it's never too late to start right now.
I'm going to say its because people don't naturally like to be ruled. Its our first instinct to reject something someone tells us, so I'm willing to bet that is why.
I can understand why people get sick of politics, at least American politics. I don't even live there, and I'm already fed up with hearing about all the ******ed bullshit that accompanies it. The whole process takes way too goddamn long.
Why some people don't like politics?
