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.
There are so many layers too. Once you realize that voting will never change the status quo, you can vote on primary elections that will never change the status quo, campaign for better politicians that will never change the status quo, join peaceful protests that will never change the status quo, canvas for activist causes that will never change the status quo, or check out and stop participating in the political system, also never changing the status quo.
A dedicated person can sink a lifetime of effort into all of the socially recommended options for causing change, and never do anything that can cause change.
