He will never lose his job and find himself unable to feed his family. He and that family will never have to live in a car after they've been evicted. His children will never be drafted and sent off to die in a pointless war. He will never be shot by a police officer for looking suspicious.

If you assume that nothing bad will ever happen to you, and also that you have no reason to care about those others to whom bad things do happen, you can write as though politics does not matter. You can even write the passage in the screenshot, if you assume you'll never be a dissident or a Uighur.
