    Why be a dick about it when you can just ignore them. Seems like they’re just trying to communicate in a way that’s generally experienced as nice.

    Like I get it, it’s easy to get annoyed at people trying to “make” you participate in an imaginary and kinda lame social behaviour… But like, being a dick on purpose probably does you more damage than them

    No one likes someone whose rude for the sake of being rude, or an edgelord, even being a contrarian just for the sake of it isn’t the greatest characteristic.

    Better to find a stable calm attitude that doesn’t require that… And if it’s a way to blow off steam, better to find ways that are more in your own domain of control, rather than having it controlled by an external trigger.

    Something to give thought to next time your driving jeep anyways.



  • Relative to much of the world yes.

    In terms of economics and neoliberalism mostly.

    You’re more right than wrong.

    In terms of social liberalism, the differences between the two parties are more noticeable.

    This is because structural politics is defined by undemocratic means, interests, and forces.

    So we vote on more superficial aspects, such as the culture war and social rights.

    Which can be important, but most of the time aren’t the real meat of the world’s problems.

    Your argument isn’t coherent, as you’re attributing a single phenomena to being caused by a willful ignorance and the rose coloured glasses of forgetfulness or absent minded ignorance.

    Which is why you’re shifting goal posts to a position you believe is implied but is actually your own contradictory construction, and of your own making.

    Anyways I don’t think I’ll get anywhere with you, as you’re liable to such falsifications and implicit strawmanning.

    Have fun arguing with positions you’re making up for yourself. Strange hobby, but whatever. It probably keeps you occupied, so who am I to judge.
