I see a lot of people struggling to make ends meet around me and they have all sorts of politics.

I find your comment fairly tone deaf and reeking of unwarranted victimism.

Absolutely, but "all sorts of politics" is not "any sort of politics". Also, I'm pretty sure none of the teams who made these word lists are struggling to make ends meet. For example, what does the guy who's out there in the middle of a cold night making soup for homeless people think about these lists?

The people around you should try to get into political positions where all they'll need to do is to have the right political opinions and enforce that then. Which opinions those are depends on the organization.

The problem of course is that many people couldn't stand to work in such an organization, and there's definitely suffering involved unless you are a certain type that loves that kind of work.
