To people who are political, standing up to them and their politics seems political. If you do so they'll claim this is evidence that you are political, just like they are.
That's the same faulty thinking that makes an irrational person believe that killing someone who intends to harm or kill you is murder.
Shooting an attacker is not murder.
Opposing someone's aggressive politics-- without advocating the use of aggressive politics against them-- is not political. It's not the same-- the initiation of force (lacking consent) makes all the difference.
Writing to promote liberty is my job.
YOU get to decide if I get paid.
I hope I add something you find valuable enough to support.
