Actually, the writer is saying that the entire article is to be taken as a preface to that last statement, which is clearly about politics.


And prefaces are not content. One can agree with the preface and not the body of the argument.

I'm not going to argue. I give up. Logically the preface is part of the rest of the text. Problem is, there is no rest of the text. But I guess that doesn't matter. If the preface is supposed to lead to a political discussion, even if the preface is non-political, that makes the entire preface political.

I just wish I had such keen eyes. Without the author's last graph, who could have known the rest of his text was so political in nature?
