a couple years ago some friends on a community driven wargame community and I were engaging in a worldbuilding discussion, creating factions and armies and such for our world

I Said "Im going to have a leftist insurgency" and everyone groaned. "why do you have to make it political cant we just have silly scifi tropes

"Who said anything about politics, 95% of your units are holding their weapons in their right hand. this is a left handed faction"

them

It was Lego, by the way...

I love that their assumption was that their highly fractured society going to war with one another wasn't political. What do people think politics is?
