It's not that politics itself is irrelevant, any person who lives in a society, a club, or even a friend group must deal with "politics". That is to say, esoteric political thought and academia has no real place or purpose for people who must live through real life. Such political theorizing only really comes from people who have time to waste, or at best are in a position where they can merely just observe everything rather than partake in it. It's the same with "debating" in the modern age. Personally, I don't really like debating people, even if I am ironically posting in the "debate" thread. To me, it mostly just devolves into endless talk. In the end, I tend to find that it was generally a net loss of time and energy to engage in them. It's just something I do not particularly value or enjoy, even if you do.
Additionally, being a "waste of time" doesn't make something irrational. Sometimes people just feel a need to kill time, sometimes there doesn't have to be a meaningful point other than entertainment or boredom. It's pretty much why I'm posting here. I dislike political theorizing and academia because it acts as though it will help people but usually just sows further confusion and division between people who would otherwise probably find agreement with one another.
If you are not willing to give your life for your beliefs, those beliefs will crumble when adequate pressure is made against you. It's nothing shameful and will happen to all of us. Consider it more a shifting of priorities to what you really care about if you wish. You do have something you would give your life for, it just happens not to be politics.
I do not explain my "political preferences" because they are irrelevant and it would barely contribute to anything that I want to convey. What I speak of goes beyond my "political preferences" and is more a matter of personal beliefs that I have, thus I want to express them in a manner accessible to anyone. On this platform, I just hope to advocate that people find a purpose in life. Lastly, it would just invite pointless and endless arguments if we were found to be in political disagreement.
It is strange to let someone's "privilege" affect whether you take their word seriously or not. If you seriously act in the nature of expanding your mind, why should it matter what the source of knowledge is? If you want to argue that "privilege" affects ideas, I'm simply going to say it doesn't matter to me. I do not care if good ideas are found from my enemies or my friends, it is worth letting everyone be my teacher. You are free to think I am wrong, but I am doubtful me having or lacking "privilege" is going to add anything truly meaningful to your understanding.

I'm not here to "sell" or "push" anything, I just want to express my opinions. My ideas are only "hopeless" if you want them to be hopeless.

If you disagree with my thoughts, perhaps you can prove them wrong by doing what you can in life to change the world.

All I can say to that is, identify what is worth fighting for then do what you can to prepare for the times you might need to. Live in the moment and have no regrets.
"Never give up. Fight until the end. Always believe you will succeed, even if the odds are against you."
