You have have to choose between two numbers, the lower the number the more evil it represents. You don’t have any real say over which numbers pop up, and you only get to choose between the two you’re given. If you always choose the least evil option it’ll always go up right?
The first two numbers you’re given are 55 and 23. So you choose 55, it’s the least evil.
55 wins. So 55 is up again but this time it’s more like 49 and 23. Easy still, you choose 49.
Well now it’s two new numbers, let’s say it’s 48 and 32. Still easy. 48.
Then 48 is up again vs 16. Somehow 16 wins.
Next you have 16 vs 40. So you choose 40. 40 wins, and is now up against 16 again, and has fallen to like 35.
You’ve chosen the least evil option every time, and still, the least evil option has progressed towards evil. Soon the least evil option will be as bad as the most evil option in recent memory. But we’ll still be told the only way to make this better is to keep voting for the least evil option.
The solution isn’t simply accepting what we’re given and hoping for the best anymore.
Then what is the solution? What’s your alternative? It’s not third parties, that has never worked. The solution is somewhere around a general strike or civil war, and we all know you aren’t brave enough. Most aren’t. There’s not enough people capable or willing enough to band together to force change en masse when it’s required.
So you’ll point out how stupid it is to keep doing the same, you’re not wrong, but there’s also no viable alternative for the average person.
There will be no change without great personal risk, and you’re right, of the heart isn’t in it, it isn’t going to happen. It takes a significant amount of marginalisation before people collectively rise up and break things. It’s that going to happen tomorrow? No probably not. But if the teens continue as they have, it will eventually happen.
A thriving middle class will put up with a tremendous amount of bullshit to keep their happy little lives. Marginalized people with nothing to lose are much quicker to action, and we’re building consecutive generations who will have nothing to lose from radical action.
Ok. Here’s some food for thought.

So…shrug?
The solution is radical activism.
