This article is about an ideology that rejects politics. For other uses, see Centrism.
Apoliticism is a 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
Apoliticism doesn't have a history. It has existed ever since the beginning of political thought and some would say even before that.
Beliefs
Apoliticism believes that people should have apathy or antipathy towards all political affiliations. He is completely politically neutral, and only cares 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 color white (the most neutral color) as well as balding set of hair.
- Draw a ball,
- Color the ball white
- Add several black coil-shaped strands of hair to the top of the ball,
- Draw the eyes, and you're done!
| Color Name | HEX | RGB | |
|---|---|---|---|
| White | #FFFFFF | 255, 255, 255 | |
| Black | #141414 | 20, 20, 20 | |
