The politics of talking
There are those who would say that I am someone who “talks politics” a lot. Some people think this makes me ace, that I am someone they can “talk politics with”. Others think this makes me a boringbleedingheartfuckenPCleftiefemonazi and if they are caught talking to me are likely to be telling me so, or to note that talking to me is something that requires an “ability to talk politics” licence.
The implication of both these responses is that “people who talk politics” are (a) identified by particular unusual characteristics and (b) rare.
Question.
When is one *not* “talking politics?”
