Apoliticism

"This article is about an ideology that rejects politics. For other uses, see Centrism."

Apoliticism is a centrist ideology whose only defining feature is apathy or antipathy 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  KKK.

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

Beliefs
Apoliticism is apathetic or antipathetic towards all political affiliations. He is completely politically neutral and only cares about non-political issues like relationships, cooking, and sometimes religion.

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.

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" 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, and you're done!

Grilling Buddies

 * [[File:Radape.png]] I made these steaks out of [insert ideology]. *DUN DUN DUN*
 * [[File:Relreject.png]] Religious Rejectionism - My religious child, who (depending on his faith and what I grill), may not come for steaks.
 * [[File:Moder.png]] Moderatism - Basically me, albeit still interested in politics.
 * [[File:Horshu.png]] Horseshoe Centrism - Between you and me, I don't see any dang difference between those [[File:Demcr.png]] Democrats and [[File:RepubUS.png]] Republicans either.

 * [[File:Kak.png]] Kakistocracy - What a lovely child! Wait, don't scratch my hair!
 * [[File:Hedonism-cloud.png]] 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 quarrelling known as "politics".

Frenemies

 * [[File:Centrist-yellow.png]] Centrists - Listen here kids, you make a lot of sense, but I don't want to hear any more of your politics!
 * [[File:Mansphere.png]] Manosphere - 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.
 * [[File:Mach.png]] Machiavellianism - You don't care about ideologies, but still want to gain political power, despite all the woes and risks involved. Why?
 * [[File:Agorismf.png]] Agorism - 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.
 * [[File:Ego.png]] Anarcho-Egoism - Also doesn't like ideology, but also just really, really weird. If grilling pleases your ego then you can join me.
 * [[File:Annil.png]] Anarcho-Nihilism - He hates politics and sees it as a circus, but why do you hate life when you can just enjoy grilling?

Politicals

 * [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] Revolutionary Progressivism - Another extremist who makes death threats against us and we may need to call the [[File:PolState-Car.gif]] police if necessary. We are against being politically involved. We would rather just enjoy living our lives.
