    Well, obviously all we need to do is continue to play nice and be the bigger people, that will surely help them see reason! It’s worked so well so far!

      Radical centrism will destroy us all. Good peoples core weakness is that they think the psychopathic mental illness of fascism can be reasoned with, and the bad faith stochastic terrorists will materialise empathy despite generations of evidence to the contrary; fascists use this to their advantage to assume control.

      “If we can’t beat the fascists in the marketplace of ideas then we have to let fascists do fascism and use democracy to kill democracy, otherwise we’re no better than… the fascists!?!” = fucking insanity

        Batman-esque high-road ideologies are dumb. You dont prepare yourself for your ideal world, you prepare yourself for the world you live in. You wouldnt walk outside into a -50° snowstorm in sandals and shorts and be surprised when you get frostbite
