    There’s an awful lot of “if” in your statements. We need to be concerned with reality as it exists right now, not how it may exist at some unknown point in the future if a specific set of events play out as we hope.

      My point is that you’re not truly understanding reality as it is right now. My argument is that the blackpill perspective is an unnecessarily pessimistic outlook without a real theory for change, which is effectively nihilistic and helps fascism.

        I’m not the original commenter. I was just contributing that there’s a lot of speculation in your statement. Yes, that could happen, but can you really blame people for seeming pessimistic when they’ve seen open corruption reported for decades now with no consequences or meaningful changes?

          Yes, because making them pessimistic and nonparticipatory is literally one of the goals of the corruption rings.
