When it comes to “Politics is the Mindkiller” the important thing to keep in mind is that if you raise politics in a debate about a nonpolitical point your debate will likely become about politics and not your nonpolitical point. If your main goal is to make a political point that’s okay, if your main goal is to make a nonpolitical point, you are doing something wrong.
You can’t effectively do both at the same time. There’s value in making both political and nonpolitical points.
