Is it political to claim an issue is not political?

I just want to point out I started typing this questionnaire before https://www.businessinsider.com/tim-cook-response-trump-relationship-criticism-2026-3 went live, and timestamps have us within 10 minutes of each other. I had not seen that and this wasn't a take on that.But having posted, giving my feed a quick scroll, I just saw that article's headline (haven't read it proper).Coincidence!Sign of the times that it's that much of A Thing!

"I'm not a political person on either side," Cook said. "I'm not political."That... that's not what political means. That's what partisan means.Tim Cook isn't stupid. He knows what words mean. Saying that, like that, is talking like a politician - lying softly or misleading without stating an obvious falsehood.#politics #apple #USPol

@sus Whenever I tell people about this, despite the mainstream media citations, I get disbelief.Literally chipping up ancient growth and original never-logged forests to burn in the UK.

@mwl A tech bro literally told me last week that books and newspapers were the product of a biased leftist media system, and that chatbots were a less biased sourceI pointed out that the chatbots were trained on something but he insisted they're more than their training sets and are unbiased.I pointed out that maybe newspapers are less politically right because many right politicians have explicitly abandoned truth - also did not land.At the time I was genuinely upset by his rejecting valid challenges without any rational counterargument!
