Nope. Politics to me is what everything ultimately comes down to. People have thoughts, and those thoughts are sometimes ideas, those ideas can then form philosophies, which when explored in the context of the world forms ideologies - logically reasoned systems of ideas that can be broken down into decisions and modifications that allow it to be implemented, which is politics.

To truly know what goes in the world we have created is to know politics, therefore to be uncurious about it is to be uncurious about the world itself.

I know people who are like that, and it seems they just consume products instead and get excited for the next product, I try not to think less of them, but if I'm completely honest it seems very childish to me, it's one thing to be ignorant of politics and history when you're 14 because all you care about is xbox, but when you're in your mid to late 20s struggling to parse basic allegories or recall what was in the news that year, its not great.
