    Because politics encompasses almost everything, to be truly politically neutral would mean having no strong views on anything in life.

    It’s possible to be neutral on certain topics, but to be fully neutral you’d have to have no real opinions on economics, immigration, the military, the role of religion, equality, education…

    So the quote is saying you can’t truly be neutral on everything, what specific things are you actually neutral on.

        the fact people are finite.

        we can’t care about everything, nor should we. we generally only care about what we perceive to be relevant to our lives, and ignore most everything else.
