If you’re “not political” in an unjust system, you’re part of the oppression.
@aral addendum: if you feel you've no obligation to be political because you believe you live in a just system, you're a member of the oppressor class.

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
