gollark: If you just doubled the number of people "involved in politics" by some loose definition by taking arbitrary random people, would this actually improve the political situation? I would be surprised if it did; I don't think most have some sort of unique original contribution, but just go for participating in shouting louder at other groups.
gollark: Possibly true but not very relevant.
gollark: You could probably argue that something something tragedy of the commons, but clearly there are a lot of people who do do politics and it is possible that adding more would actually worsen things.
gollark: Even if it is the case that if everyone ever ignored politics there would be problems, that doesn't mean that one person ignoring it is bad.
gollark: Perhaps, but I don't actually care.
