To me "apolitical" roughly translates to: I am in a privileged enough position to ignore other people's problems.
There are two types of groups, those built on strength and those built on weakness. Over time to differentiate themselves people in the group of strength must deem more as weakness and break off those bonds, while those who build bonds on shared weakness can never be broken. Eventually your privilege will run out, my "apolitical" friends, and you will find yourself with nowhere to turn to as all the politics you used your privilege to ignore catch up with you.
Fight for the rights of every friend you have with your heart, and then make new friends by fighting for their rights as well. Nothing else will do.
