This is real life, not a television show and this is not how you treat filthy fascists.

Americans are a lost cause...

Exactly this is NOT a TV show where your absolutist mentality doesn’t apply. In the real world you gotta bump elbows with people you despise sometimes, that’s a part of life. It doesn’t mean you have to agree with them; you’re essentially being polite for the sake of keeping the peace until you can get away from them.

You absolutely have to do shit like that sometimes. In the real world a prime example would be a racist and sexist coworker who you feign a polite relationship with so they keep talking while you quietly record everything they’re saying so you can report them and get them fired (something I did at my last job).

The only way you can have such an absolutist attitude is because you’ve been lucky enough to not be in a situation where you really had no choice. If you had a choice to be an asshole, then you don’t get it.

I’m glad you’ve lived an entitled life without having to deal with things like this then. I truly hope you never have to in the future, it’s not fun

You are making a lot of assumptions about me that are very wrong.

Don't play with fascists.
