That's not what I meant by political. I meant political in the more modern sense of "appealing to emotion rather than thought".

EDIT:

Everyone is rightfully calling me out that this doesn't make a lot of sense. What I meant is that the move is driven by ideology. I think there is a lot of overlap between politics and ideology, and an increasing amount of overlap between ideology and emotion. But it's fair enough to call me out here.
