Apoliticism is an ideology whose only defining feature is apathy or antipathy towards politics. The character's design and mannerisms are a reference to I Just Want To 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 the KKK.

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

Draw a ball with eyes.
Color the ball white (#FFFFFF).
Add several coil-shaped strands of hair to the top of the ball.

-}}''Apoliticism'' is an ideology ball whose only defining feature is not caring about politics. This leads him to claim that he is not an ideology, even though he is one. His main hobby is grilling, which he loves to a ridiculous degree, especially as a means to escape the media which can only talk about [[National Socialism|racism]], [[Social Darwinism|shootings]], [[Socialism|socialism]] and [[Clerical Fascism|the KKK]]. He is balding, and has yet to find a cure for his patchy hair.

-Apoliticism hates his wife, but doing something about that would require making a change. He instead occupies himself by grilling, which he has long since perfected, widely being known as the best chef of all the ideologies. Other than his extreme love for grilling he doesn't care much about anything else.
