You say "make it fit reality", but why do I feel like what you really mean is "make sure it does not at all challenge US hegemony".

If your ecocidal political project whose institutions were devised a blink ago by 30 year old slavers starts going genocidal, your project has lost the right to exist. To put it plainly, I think we all have a duty to start thinking about what dismantling the genocidal US empire would look like: reading marx, getting armed, building networks, embracing anti-capitalism, and preparing for this country's undeniably inevitable backslide into fascism.

Thank you for defining anchor bias in such a succinct comment.

The endgame of your utility calculation is genocidal. 30 years from now, I suspect you'll still be blasting this "vote blue no matter who" nonsense when the choice is between a dem supporting 5 genocides and a repub supporting 10 genocides. You've been anchor biased hard as fuck.

It would only take a few election cycles before a new fascist becomes the favorite of the right. Trump dropping dead would absolutely not mean the end of fascism in this country. He is a symptom, not the cause.

The end game of the lib's "harm reduction" is to continue taking shots to the left 30 years from now when the presidential candidates are a choice between the dem who wants to do 5 genocides and the repub who wants to do 10 genocides. At that point, the metamorphosis from liberal to fascist will be complete. To the liberal mind, political analysis stops with the earth-shattering revelation that 5 < 10.

They've been anchor biased hard as fuck, and they will continue to prop up genocide across the third world and beyond such that they never have to question their precious governmental systems and bureaucracy. The ecocidal, genocidal, imperialist political project that is the United States (which was devised a blink ago by 30-year old white slavers) is far more precious to liberals than, you know, halting genocide.

To be fair, doesn't your argument presuppose that all psychs are religiously following every recommended guideline to the letter? That seems like a stretch.

When I reached your situation, I started rackmounting which has saved me a lot of time.

I got a 1u dell poweredge r210 and slapped in a 10Gb network card. Loaded up OPNsense onto it. OPN sense was not easy to learn how to use, for me at least. Struggled to get everything running smoothly. But I am very happy I went with rack mounting instead of adding to the rat's nest.

The fact that we have witnessed successful revolutions throughout history means you are wrong.

Tool Assisted Speedrun

Using a script to automatically press all the buttons on the exact right frames so that you can automate a speedrun.

Good luck trying to explain to working-class people that the struggle they're feeling is only because they don't understand economics well enough.

So what you're saying is that under our system, fascists are entitled to run for president?

Trump broke every rule on the book - why can't Joe? The democrat's weird-ass obsession with precedent, civility, and the sanctity of American politics (that were devised by 30 year old white slave owners) has made them entirely toothless and ill equipped to deal with fascism. I'll never understand the liberal position that fascists must, at all costs, be allowed to run in elections. Stomp that shit out.
