Yes, because it implied that a human being living in any society can have an escape from politics all the time. I assume we both know it's not true?

No, it really doesn't? It implies that OP has found an escape from the "all political, all the time" experience that Western fandom has become for many.

"Good for you, OP. I'm glad you have an escape from all political, all the time."

Your deduction might make sense if you misread my sentence as saying "escape from the political, all the time" but the phrase, "all X, all the time" has a pretty clear meaning. That's what gives it the meaning of "an escape from the constant, never-ending X" rather than "escape from X all the time, never to experience it"

Never heard this phrase before, but it's not really surprising, since I'm not a native speaker.

Anyway, no hard feelings, I see your point now.

I thought that might be the case but I didn't want to say it, since there's nothing wrong with your English. I think the phrase is referencing old radio ads: "All the top rock hits, all the time".

I shouldn't have assumed it would be clear to everyone, since while it's not quite idiomatic, its meaning isn't super straightforward going solely from grammar and word meaning.

Thanks, and don't worry! Since the discussion language here is English, and every foreign speaker's level is different, occasional misunderstandings like this are bound to happen. I think as long as both sides remain civil, such things can be cleared up easily. :)
