"Don't make this political" "Actually it was always political, because people's lives are being affected by this" "And by leaning into that, you've made it impossible to actually solve the problem, thus making those people's lives worse" Many such cases.

I think that there are two possibly valid classes of “don’t make this political”: 1) Where “political” is standing in for “ideological”, and the discourse strays from discussing actions that parties might agree on to instead discussing abstract ideology or tribal totem-waving.

2) Where the thing being made political is traditionally an escape from political thought. Anyone who insists on making my hobby time yet another place I’m forced to worry about the very concerns I’m trying to use it to escape isn’t winning me as an ally.

I think there's a certain legitimacy to this when there's a strong political component to who gets to enjoy that hobby, although there are better and worse ways to handle that.
