Depends on yer epistemology dunnit.
If you have to inspect the minutiae to gauge your decision making process then it can be.
Seems not everybody has the time to do so.
Which may be political in itself consciously or unconsciously.
I am reminded of the idea of the deal breaker point that kept coming up with t and the GOP over the last couple of years. Like what exploitation does the process of production entail. & how much are you willing to accept to make your personal existence that much easier.
Or the Naked Lunch where if everyone suddenly became aware of what was on their fork and what processes it had gone through to get there how many people would stop eating.

i would avoid the impulse to start galaxy-brain threads in the future pom, just some advice from a guy who appreciates you when you're talking about something as opposed to nothing

The correct answer, however, is no.

Which is why we need an I Love Politics board that is separate from I Love Everything.

Thank you.

By that logic we need a set of 'I Love X' boards to match every sub-category of 'Everything'.

Definition 1: x is politics-like if and only if x has as essential properties those and only those properties which are positive

Definition 2: A is an essence of x if and only if for every property B, x has B necessarily if and only if A entails B

Definition 3: x necessarily exists if and only if every essence of x is necessarily exemplified

Axiom 1: If a property is positive, then its negation is not positive

Axiom 2: Any property entailed by—i.e., strictly implied by—a positive property is positive

Axiom 3: The property of being politics-like is positive

Axiom 4: If a property is positive, then it is necessarily positive

Axiom 5: Necessary existence is positive

Axiom 6: For any property P, if P is positive, then being necessarily P is positive

Theorem 1: If a property is positive, then it is consistent, i.e., possibly exemplified

Corollary 1: The property of being politics-like is consistent

Theorem 2: If something is politics-like, then the property of being politics-like is an essence of that thing

Theorem 3: Necessarily, the property of being politics-like is exemplified
