“If you don’t participate in politics you’re evil” is an argument that you completely made up.

You don't like to be called selfish for not considering how your actions might affect others, but others are supposed to care about how their actions might affect you? Seems like a pretty self centered attitude to have.

You're almost there and then you give up on original thought at the last minute.

>“Care because I think you should!”

Welcome to politics. Not only do I demand that you care because I think you should, but I will smash you with the full force of the law if you don't.

Now, if you decide to do nothing, well, you're getting your ass smashed by the full force of the law and whining like a little bitch saying "I'm not political, why did this happen to me".

"If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice".

And "There are no neutrals in the reality, entropy forbids it".

You seem to have fundamentally misunderstood my point.

I never said “If you don’t participate in politics you’re evil”.

My point is that there is no not participating in politics. The lack of participation is a political choice in itself.
