    “Keep politics out of ____” is just “I don’t want to ever assess my ethics with a critical lens.”

      Yuppp. It’s basically like admitting you like the present ideology, and just don’t want to think about how life could be better.

      This is the perfect way to say it.

      “Ethics” is the word I was looking for, for what people are now calling “politics.” It’s why people don’t like Star Wars, Sesame Street, or Mr. Rogers: Because they are ethical.
