    That doesn’t mean that this strategy will ever work. It won’t happen instantly, but it also won’t even happen eventually.

    Take a look in the fucking mirror. You’ve been doing lesser evil for decades, and all that happened is that you now support genocide and dog rape

    I am actually building something. I just haven’t internalized your helplessness to believe that managing the bleeding is incompatible with that. Managing the bleeding is what preserves something to save.

    “It’s critically important to preserve the fascist, genocidal empire! (I’m totally a leftist though…)”

    Teleology is concerned with securing the most favorable outcome

    When a country makes torture, rape, and genocide a bipartisan policy, the most favourable outcome is whatever will collapse it the fastest. If you were actually sincere in your argument, you would have to vote for Trump.

    But you’re not sincere, you’re just trying to justify exterminating hundreds of thousands of people for your own self interest.

    This is like basic trolly problem shit.

    No it fucking isn’t. Because the basic trolly problem doesn’t have the trolly loop back around to the start every four years with increasingly large amounts of new people placed on the track each time. You got your fucking “lesser evil” win in 2020, and it led to the worst atrocities of our era.

    You’re not actually approaching this as a consequencalist, you’re just looking at your own self interest and trying to work backwards to justify it.
