He got me to read the Manifesto and would have hours' long debates with our social-democratic roommate and now this. It's really shaking me up a bit.
He is on the whole defeatist 'nothing will fundamentally shake the imperial machine so might as well pick the wardog with better domestic policies' tip. I want to get through to him but I am getting stuck.
For example:
i also refuse to not vote my conscience but i figured this time its not like doing this abstract process to pick if id prefer -100 points vs -200 points is gonna matter that much if i genuinely believe itll even be slightly better under kamala i might as well
How do you mean zen fascism?
My step dad is like that. Got a survival of the fittest kind of mindset and is like yea americas doing fucked up shit but might as well sit back and enjoy it bc we’re lucky to be able to
it'd be tempting to have some respect for this stance if they didn't whine and complain when the tables turn, but they always do
I guess it’s more honest than what democrats give us at the very least lol
this might be the Matt rant you were referring to
