It is hilarious that liberals have actually appropriated the rhetoric that saying “actually, both sides are wrong” ends up favouring the “evil” side, but they continue to apply this maxim to the USSR and Nazi Germany. An inability to realize that what makes this maxim ridiculous, in the latter case, is that, in fact, it was the Soviet Union that ended fascist barbarism, while the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are two cogs in the same bellicose, anti-democratic, imperialist machine. As long as the choice is reduced to “blue vs. red” (a fake contradiction), the freedom of the human race will remain, at best, a distant dream.

But perhaps what irritates me the most is the overly pedantic use of Jim and Pam memes.

    Precisely been my take. The way people so passionately argue about voting is infuriating; Yes, it might matter on a tiny scale, but the plane’s going down and we’re arguing about which drinks steward has the more polite rhetoric - There are infinitely more important things to passionately argue about.

    Give people a vote to pretend they have a tiny bit of power and it’s wielded as an excuse to never attempt to change or do anything ever.
