Dudes argument was the hypothetical could and would never happen, but that’s the whole point of hypotheticals. I was going to use it to illustrate a point but hey, they copped out.
That, while the revolution is important and what we need to work towards, it’s also not happening right now. Right now, we need to do what we can. The US government still exists, the empire isn’t toppled yet, so while that system is still around, you should be doing what you can within and without the system to help people. So yeah, both sides are bad, but one is slightly less bad and the other has gone rabid, so maybe don’t hand over the reigns to the rabid worse people? Both are shit sandwiches but one is on fire and covered in glass, so if you have to make everyone eat some of the sandwich, do the regular shit sandwich.
“What if my arms and legs turn into rubber and droop down and you have to help me carry my arms like a big firehose”
“Not only is that never gonna happen, it has fuck all to do with studying for your driving test”
“Psh, bro’s never heard of a hypothetical.”
