[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

    so i was part of a group of friends in high school. we campaigned (at the high school, by wearing buttons and thinking up stupid slogans, not really getting involved in politics) for the green party because by our logic, we couldn’t convince democrats to vote republican because they were too smart for that. but we could trick them into voting green.

    of my close friends group in high school, only half to 3/4 of us ever grew up. there’s one friend in particular i’m thinking of though, he was a “bernie bro” online until bernie lost. after the 2016 election he told us that he tried to commit voter fraud for the russian candidate. in a way that would get noticed and his first vote rejected, also a method that had been discussed online on forums associated with agent krasnov and promoted by agent krasnov himself, but my friend has always been a dipshit. i mean hell so have i. evidence, paragraph 1.

      Well, yes, there are a few individuals doing it, that doesn’t affect my main question “how many are doing it? Is it significant?”

      You have anecdotal “evidence” with a sample size of 1 and using it to make a sweeping, generalization statement.

          You are having a conversation in which you have made sweeping generalizations. Don’t be fucking stupid.

            you don’t like that my experience with your group paints you badly, and so you insult me aiming to improve my opinion of your group. bravo doctor. impressive logic and reason. no wonder so many people have similar “anecdotal” evidence.

              Sure, they do bud. Cause they totally aren’t just strawmen made up to support their arguments.

              I never claimed to try and endear you to my group. I give zero shits how you feel about it.

              Nice attempt at the psychoanalysis of a complete stranger through a single comment on the Internet by making wild assumptions about intention.

              Your anecdotal experience is not proof of your bullshit strawman argument. You have no idea how logic works.
