The only people who call politics bad are those who want to be unaccountable for the impact their actions have on the rest of the world. This is a very *political* choice called libertarianism and is closely aligned with tech oligarchs breaking laws, attacking democracy, destroying personal computing, etc. It's bullshit and they know it but they don't care, because they ... aren't accountable after all.
Never believe someone when they say their work is apolitical.
