I don't think politics equals to pol. Politics is simply the matters, affairs of the community - even if we here on /kc/ discuss where to move and such, that's also politics. As you pointed out pol is an expression of the interest in this in a "non-mainstream and sorta contrarian" way. Hmm, is leftypol is double contrarian?
It's really hard to evade the affairs of our community. Even the most shut-in Bernds meet the results of politics. If he orders something online - for example - odds are the price of the thing will contain VAT or if it comes from abroad it might be the subject of tariffs and he can have an opinion on this, what he might wanna express.
