@StarkRG @benroyce @ApostateEnglishman it's a commitment to personal purity, never sullying yourself by touching a system that's less than 100% perfect, over actually attempting to make things a bit better in the world

@afewbugs @StarkRG @ApostateEnglishman

yup

and this toxic idealism is selfish, self-serving navel gazing ineffectuality

nonvoters don't have political positions, they have psychological positions

it's a form of coping. it has nothing to do with making the world a better place

morality without action isn't morality, it's ego masturbation

also:

action is always imprecise and messy

and toxic idealists can't deal with that

so they are not moral people. they're just utterly useless whiners
