it
really bothers me how libs have that learned helplessness
that things CANNOT be better. "Managed decline" is the best they can imagine. Things cannot be built. Improvements cannot be made.
The fash are legitimate and need to be appeased tho. That THEY can do.
They are "pragmatic"
they are "the adults in the room"
if you dare to ask or even THINK about making things better
you are decried as childish, utopian, wanting a unicorn and a cake and spoiled and and
yeah
liberal fantasies are so fucking sad
"Oh, but the rules"
"oh but the decorum"
"oh but that is not realistic"
"Oh but think of the political capital, it cannot be spent on this, what if it is needed for something more important later"
Any and all excuses to not do anything for anyone ever
