That is certainly not how you came across earlier.
To answer the question in your first sentence, allow me to quote you:
Have you been to a city council meeting lately ? Ever? I'm trying to push for surveillance regulation where I live. I'm there monthly.
Calling your representative is the best way to realise that they don't give a fuck. Yesterday I was editing a clip of one of them lying overtly. It will be a minor inconveniences.
what we call democracy is a dog and ponies show
and later:
Good luck in your comfort that your country is not broken
I am glad to know after this back and forth that you have a more sensible position. Perhaps I misread you, perhaps you could have articulated your original points with more subtlety. Perhaps we both have something to learn here.
Anyway, one more quote of your's I wish to highlight:
You are cute.
:)
My original quote use active verbs like "pushing", and is describing action I'm taking. That does not fit the definition of fatalism
And yeah, I found you cute in your naive view of how politics work."just get in there man"
But I take it back, you are mostly repeating thing back at me and not engaging in this conversation. Not cute, boring. Conversation is about swapping ideas. And I've been waiting for those, I'm still unclear on where you stand. Beside sounding vaguely offended? Maybe ? Hard to tell via text.
Anyhoo. Have a good evening
