{{Quote|
'''Apoliticism''' is a centrist ideology whose only defining feature is apathy or antipathy towards politics.
quote="What is called politics is something so superficial and inhuman that, practically, I have never fairly recognized that it concerns me at all."

'''Apoliticism''' is a non-quadrant ideology whose only defining feature is apathy towards politics.

The character's design and mannerisms are a reference to [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-just-wanna-grill-for-gods-sake I Just Wanna Grill for God's Sake], a meme poking fun at the apolitical tendency of baby boomers.

Apoliticism doesn't have a history. It has existed ever since the beginning of political thought and some would say even long before that.


== History ==
== Variants ==
Whiskeyism. This is a subtype in which the love of grilling is replaced by strong alcohol and cigarettes. In this form, Whiskeyism lacks any interest in anything because of which it is minimally interested in politics. In this type of politics, there are two types: power over and power under. And the important thing is that even despite the word apolitical whiskeyism, this is a completely different phenomenon, but they can very easily be connected with each other because they also minimally strive for anything and are not interested in politics. But whiskeyism has beliefs and a worldview, and besides, even apolitical people can sometimes considered conservatives, and whiskeyism is apathetic at a high level and can sometimes be inhumane and cruel.

Apoliticism is apathetic or antipathetic towards all political affiliations, often responding to political discussions by saying: ''"I just wanna grill for God's sake!"''.

==Personality and Behavior==
Apoliticism appears in comics as a generally cynical and dim-witted everyman character. He is based on the archetypal American baby boomer, a middle-class man skeptical of societal progress and burdened by an unhappy marriage. He occupies himself with grilling and responds dismissively to politics or political discussion.

He is the only character to have hair, which appears as loose, coiled strands on the top of his head to represent balding. This style of illustrating hair is derived from Polcompball's predecessor [https://www.facebook.com/Anarchyball/ Anarchyball], which depicts [[File:Ancapf.png]] [[Anarcho-Capitalism]] in a similar state of hair loss.

'This article is about an ideology that rejects politics. For other uses, see Centrism (Disambiguation).'

"What is called politics is something so superficial and inhuman that, practically, I have never fairly recognized that it concerns me at all."

Apoliticism is a non-quadrant ideology whose only defining feature is apathy towards politics.

The character's design and mannerisms are a reference to I Just Wanna Grill for God's Sake, a meme poking fun at the apolitical tendency of baby boomers. Other traits derived from the meme include Apoliticism's love of grilling and hatred of racism, shootings, Socialism and the KKK .

History

Apoliticism doesn't have a history. It has existed ever since the beginning of political thought and some would say even long before that.

Variants

Whiskeyism. This is a subtype in which the love of grilling is replaced by strong alcohol and cigarettes. In this form, Whiskeyism lacks any interest in anything because of which it is minimally interested in politics. In this type of politics, there are two types: power over and power under. And the important thing is that even despite the word apolitical whiskeyism, this is a completely different phenomenon, but they can very easily be connected with each other because they also minimally strive for anything and are not interested in politics. But whiskeyism has beliefs and a worldview, and besides, even apolitical people can sometimes considered conservatives, and whiskeyism is apathetic at a high level and can sometimes be inhumane and cruel.

Beliefs

Apoliticism is apathetic or antipathetic towards all political affiliations, often responding to political discussions by saying: "I just wanna grill for God's sake!". He is completely politically neutral, and only cares about non-political issues like interpersonal relationships, cooking, and sometimes religion.

Personality and Behavior

Apoliticism appears in comics as a generally cynical and dim-witted every-man character. He is based on the archetypal American baby boomer, a middle-class man skeptical of societal progress and burdened by an unhappy marriage. He occupies himself with grilling and responds dismissively to politics or political discussion.

Stylistic Notes

He is the only character to have hair, which appears as loose, coiled strands on the top of his head to represent balding. This style of illustrating hair is derived from Polcompball's predecessor Anarchyball, which depicts Anarcho-Capitalism in a similar state of hair loss.

How to Draw

Apoliticism's design is based on the "I just want to grill" meme guy, with coils of hair representing him balding.

  1. Draw a ball
  2. Color the ball white (the most neutral color)
  3. Add several black coil-shaped strands of hair to the top of the ball,
  4. Draw the eyes,
  5. (Optional) Give the ball a cooking spatula, and draw a grill with meat on it next to the ball

You are finished!

Relationships

Grilling Buddies

  • Radical Apoliticism - Those were some unusual, but still good-tasting steaks at Barbara's last week. What did you make them out of?
  • Religious Rejectionism - My religious child, who (depending on his faith and what I grill), may or may not come for steaks.
  • Horseshoe Centrism - Between you and me, I don't see any dang difference between those Democrats and Republicans either.
  • Satirism - I like watching clowns.
  • Epicureanism - My philosophy. It is better to just live your own life and seek pleasure in simple things (especially grilling) than to get involved in the counterproductive quarreling known as "politics".
  • Dog - My buddy, always catches ball for me.
  • Ceremonial Monarchism - I don't care about the monarchy stuff, but it's good to see you stay out of politics.

Semi-politicial, but tolerable

  • Centrists - Listen here kids, you make a lot of sense, but I don't want to hear any more of your politics!
  • Online wife-hater - I like it when you discuss relationships, women, personal experiences, and self-improvement but please stop speaking about politics and I don't care if some of them benefit masculinity. And stop calling me a worm for enjoying grilling.
  • Ambitious chess addict - You don't care about ideologies but still want to gain political power for selfish reasons, despite all the woes and risks involved.
  • Rich pharmacist - Extremist, but you, just like above, understand, that politics is a circus, and want to get rid of it (to replace it with some strange system). At least you will leave me alone unlike other political morons. Also you conflict with him too much.
  • Sketchy seller - You are disillusioned with voting and political parties just as much as I am, but you are still too political, radical even. And I think I am a bit too old for all that counter-economics stuff, too.
    • You are too old for counter-economics until your meat becomes impossible to buy in an ordinary supermarket.
  • Selfish politics-hater - Also doesn't like ideology, but also just really, really weird. If grilling pleases your ego then you can join me if you want.
  • Depressed politics-hater - He hates politics and sees it as a circus, but why do you hate life when you can just enjoy grilling?
  • Grill improver - This guy has tools to make cooking more efficient, such as a built-in electric grill and cultured meat. But he is sometimes involved in politics as well.
  • Smart house system - I will prefer to grill by myself.
  • Political normie - Fellow normie, but explicitly has, or wants, political power. Ruling will distract you from grilling anyway.
  • Slightly politicial guy - Slightly political, but not annoying. It would be for the best to leave politics to him.
  • Trader from Chicago - Yeah, politics are irrational, and so does voting and all these crazy conspiracies. But stop talking about economics unless prices of foods go up.
  • Homeless artist - Sometimes he stays with me, paints pictures for me as present and plays football with my family, the only problem is that he talks too much about socialism.
  • Jehovah's Witnesses Theocracy - Obtaining from elections is based, but you still have Socially Conservative political views.

Political Morons

  • Anomalous hater - And I thought he was crazy...
  • Radical Centrism - Centrist, but extremely political. No, I don't care about politics at all. Just leave me alone and stop nagging me to participate in political discourses.
  • Annoying GOTVer - For the last time, I'm NOT VOTING! GOTV? More like GTFO!
  • Mediacracy - You seem to report of nothing but racism, shootings, socialism and KKK nowadays! That's why I watch comedy shows or movies (unless they are political) instead of news right now.
  • Racial Nationalism, Black Nationalism & White Nationalism - Racism and KKK.
  • Socialism - No thanks. I just wanna grill, man.
  • Illegalism, Combatocracy & Anarcho-Fascism - Mass shootings.
  • That Edgy Teen - Another racist who calls us "normies". He needs to get off 4chan (whatever that is) and become a normal person like me. He has become very hateful, because of politics. Moreover, he made death threats against us, and therefore we must call the police.
  • Another edgy teen - Another extremist who makes death threats against me and I may need to call the police if necessary. I am against being politically involved. I would rather just enjoy living my life.
  • Political bug addtct - Oh come on! I just wanna grill meat for god's sake! Bugs (including bug-based meat substitutes) are not tasty!
  • Escapist junkie - Quit those drugs, forget about fantasy esoteric and sci-fi transhumanist nonsense, be more realistic, and please go outside and touch some grass.
  • Indiana Jones Nazi - Are you that nutcase that made me stop watching the History Channel at night?
  • Crazy commie alien - Why are you carrying that weird huge thing? Are you... *Obliterated by nuclear blast*
  • Complainer - Will you please stop complaining? It's not my fault your steak is getting cold.
  • Fox News addict - I hate when that twit keeps bragging about the junk they said in Fox and how bad the current system is (as if I care)!
  • Ushanka grandpa - CORRUPTION IN RUSSIA?!?! WARS IN SYRIA?!?! INVASION OF UKRAINE?!?! HOW COULD SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY?! I'll still keep grilling like nothing happened.
  • Pork-hating cube & Pork-hating terrorist - ...AND LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT YOU TWO AS WELL!! BECAUSE OF YOUR WAR CRIMES, I CAN'T EVEN GRILL IN PEACE WITHOUT BEING ACCUSED OF IGNORING THE LIVES OF MILLIONS SOMEWHERE IN MENA AND PEOPLE WILL KEEP SHOUTING "THE END IS GETTING CLOSER" 24/7!! And the worst of all, both hate when I grill pork. Enough about anxiety and stress, I'll keep grilling like nothing happened, like I said before.
  • Beef-hating extremist - An annoying fanatic that wanted to force their beliefs on me and worst of all, hates when I grill beef.
  • Crazy kid and Crazy uncle - STOP ARGUING ABOUT WHICH CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE THE RIGHT ONES AND RUINING THANKSGIVING!
    • Must be an FBI agent to distract the masses from political activism with your consumerism to conform to your corporate agenda.
    • No, he is an agent of the CCP and UN trying to distract red-blooded patriots from their globalist plot to destroy America.
    • PLEASE WAKE ME FROM THIS NIGHTMARE! YOU TWO ARE NO LONGER INVITED TO THANKSGIVING!
    • See, he wants to destroy our American Thanksgiving traditions, AND YOU ARE HELPING HIM!
    • No, Thanksgiving is a clerofascist plot by the neo-Puritan theocrats to cover up the London-ordered Native American genocide.
    • *Screams*
