Political commentator who held public events at college campuses where he would debate with people about politics. Everyone should care because that's exactly why he was killed.
It does.
For one, whether or not you will be stabbed to death on the street or on a bus or train. How much things cost. Whether or not you'll be drafted to fight in WWIII. How much things will cost. Housing, jobs.
Literally everything comes from politics.
Believe me, if I could go back to not knowing what happens in the world, I would be much happier. But I know. It hurts sometimes, but I think everyone should know.
