Your position seems to be "I don't want to be bother ever by the problems of others if they don't affect me and my close ones directly". And that's a political position. A RIGHT WING political position.

My position is “not everything has political undertones”, and being coerced to act because you force me into a political spectrum for being neutral otherwise is not the liberal or tolerant ideology you think it is.

I am not saying that I will not take on the worlds issues, I am saying that I am not always making a statement with action or inaction.

characterising everyone who doesn't toe the line to your ideology with every single action is a very easy way to see the entire world as your enemy. Let me know how that goes.

It is deeply ironic how much you've engaged with political ideas in this comment while denying that you are doing so.
Cant interpret this charitably.

could you help me understand?
