What is Training without Politics?

Many times the terminology? "Training without politics" was thrown at me. As if to say, "I work with people who do wrong but I don't want to know about it and as long as I am supposedly unconscious about it, I am innocent student".

I wonder, how many really train with without politics. And how many uses it as an excuse to escape their faulty behavior.

I also kind of wonder, is there a point in practice/training if it is does not shape your character with the outside world- like "politics"?

As the saying goes- "The air we share" denotes, perhaps it is time to truly realize or take in consideration that everything we consciously decide to do, ultimately affects everyone.
