By arguing for the lesser of evils, you are arguing for the legitimacy of the establishment.

    No. I'm not. That's like saying that acknowledging the existence of the Chicago Bears means I'm a football fan.

    I'm arguing that the establishment exists and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm arguing for despair.

    All I have left is harm reduction. Which is also 100% hopeless, but it keeps me from jumping off a building because no matter how ineffective it is, it's fucking something.

    If you have a better idea, please. I'm all ears.
