it's not just a matter of there being wars abroad. It;s also about internal wealth

Generally Empires that stop being Empires don;t get *richer* in that process...

On an earlier note, politics *is* entertaining.

So is CKII tbh

True, true.

but if you do politics for entertainment

you a tard

go play CKII

Though CKII needs multiple people to be really entertaining.

And, what's so off about politics for entertainment?

same thing that's off about raising kids for entertainment

it's deeply immoral

Nah, that's different.

it's not

politics is even more responsibility then raising a kid

*Raising* children is an action directly involving children.

politics is an action directly involving the tax man and armies

which may or may not affect millions of children

Politics? Commenting and discussions on the subject matter is part of politics- that are not policy.

well, discussing politics in a bar, as I said, is not really politics in my mind

it's banter

Big booty bitches

if you're not a member of a party or an active agitator

it's just talking shit

And banter is part of politics through culture.

Mikey gets it

muh everything is political

gtfo Mussolini
