Apoliticism is an centrist 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.
History
Beliefs
Apoliticism believes that people should have apathy or antipathy towards all political affiliations. He is completely politically natural and only care 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 colour white (the most neutral colour) as well as balding set of hair.
- Draw a ball,
- Color the ball white (#ffffff),
- Add several coil-shaped strands of hair to the top of the ball,
- Draw the eyes, and you're done!
Relationships
Friends
Radical Apoliticism - Those were some good steaks at Barbara's last week, but cool it with the spices!
Horseshoe Centrism - Between you and me, I don't see any dang difference between those 
Democrats and 
Republicans either.
Frenemies
Centrist - Listen here kid, you make a lot of sense, but I don't want to hear any more of your politics!
Enemies
- Any political ideology (especially
extremists) - His wife
