    Look i am about done arguing here, so don’t expect further comments here from me.

    You and I probably have similar political interests. However, at least to me, your aggressive approach is off-putting and does not invite for discussions. It reminds me of what is happening in Germany: The far right crazy party is being excluded by a ‘firewall’. Whatever the right extremist party wants is categorically rejected, even in the rare case that it is nothing stupid (like rise funding for a public theater). It does not solve the problem, but further radicalised the members and even gave them a boost in voters. What they are presented with, is that they have to achieve more than 50%. Otherwise those far rightists wont achieve anything. Politics is about discussions and finding the path that is the most agreeable for the largest amount of people possible.

    TLDR: I agree with your goals, not your methods.

      Because appeasing the far right in Germany went so well for so many.

      The methods in this case are a website saying “no thank you.”

      If that’s beyond the pale, what the fuck is left?
