Everything is political. If you think you don't have an agenda, all that means is you're following someone else's. Every aspect of your life is influenced by the dialogue and social mechanisms around you, even, as Saya pointed out, the domestic/"private" sphere - and even if you think you 'don't really follow politics'.

Another replied, "What water?""

If you think politics don't permeate your life and opinions, you're the second fish.
