    boy am I TIRED of the status quo, I am ready to take things less seriously.

    Me too. Not enough to behave in a way that ushers in fascism. I care about more people than just myself. On the way to your outcome, a lot of who the right views as undesirables lose their rights, their lives, and more.

    Good day.

      I don’t see any nicer way to dignify my own interests.

      I will not be initiating violence. I will be voting my conscience non-violently. If that is not morally enough, and if people like you false equivalence me with the fascists, then I will understand that all along you were secretly at war with my interests, but your secret will be out the second you refuse to distinguish me from a fascist.

        Please.

        I fear capitalism more than fascism anyway. At least there is no pretense under fascism that we still have a social contract. I can kill fascists and not go to jail or get disapproved by everyone and their dog. And it also gives me permission to stop taking this deadending clusterfuck of a world seriously, and boy am I TIRED of the status quo, I am ready to take things less seriously.

        By your own words you are good either way. If you vote in a way that ushers in facism there is no false equivalence, because you have knowingly ushered in facism.

        Again I say, for the last time, Good Day.

          You still don’t take any personal responsibility for ushering in fascism? You will lump it all on me?

          Thank you for letting me know that you are my foe.

            I’m not voting for the fascist candidate, and I’m not voting in a way that will help the fascist candidate win. So - yeah, I’m going to lump it on folks who do.

            Thank you for letting me know that you are my foe.

            Anyone who helps the fascist candidate get in power is welcome to call me that.

            Last one, you won’t bait me again today. I said Good Day.

              Neither am I.

              I’m not voting in a way that will help the fascist candidate win.

              Yes you are. You are just not seeing why that’s true.
