This. I cannot understand why so many people here want to "ban politics" from the workplace.

What are your working for at that workplace? Honest question. How to spend your hard-earned money when there is no society and market? Do you want your children to live in a peaceful, prospering world or a burning one (maybe with slightly more dollars in their account)?

I don't get this sentiment. Everything is politics nowadays and choosing to "ban" it just means egocentrically accepting that we are heading for a worse future.

(And no, "politics" doesnt mean that the company will become an echo chamber and different opinions should be silenced - the opposite is the case. But BS needs to be called out as what it is...)
