Yeah, but if you don't consider how you arrive at your destination carefully, you inevitably end up with things like a healthcare law that republican states can opt out of, or, more hyperbolically since you chose to loving go there, a "soft abolition" of slavery that effectively made the sale and trade of human beings illegal, but set them up to be minimally indentured servants for another century before they were given equal rights as people

This is also an argument against incrementalism, mind you, from my point of view, anyway.

If you aren't advocating incrementalism leading somewhere good and aren't advocating for an ideal solution, then what outcomes can be expected other than something that falls short of being useful yet is touted as good enough because it's what power tells us is the only solution deemed valid. Again that's the whole problem with what's happening right now.

DnD was fine pre-trump, there was plenty of dissent, discourse frequently reached C-Spam levels of casual and we had a handful of openly conservative posters. But, after Trump made nazis feel comfortable going public, it made every conservative seem sinister and the rules of engagement for a lot of woke liberals at that point was to assume that every person who disagreed with you was a bad actor - mansplaining, sealioning, etc. You couldn't engage in a conversation anywhere with these loving people without somebody coming up with a word to explain why you shouldn't have posted at all.

I think the overlap with changes in the way tumblr and twitter's filters worked, expansions of block functionality in social media, etc, greatly exacerbated the problem. The primary ways people communicate online are not conducive to a debate anymore. When you have people who immerse themselves in an environment where every controversial opinion is filtered and every challenge to their ideas is blocked, they just seem to loving shut down when they're put on the spot, made to feel awkward, or get pissed off. There's no reading the previous posts anymore, there's no researching the issue or defending your point or just calling the other guy an rear end in a top hat and moving on. In the absence of a block button, angry poster hit report. Pretty soon, you get a situation where mods are probing people just because "we got a lot of reports" and not bothering to actually see what was going on.

edit: oh yeah and remember that time D&D was just probing people basically at random for not posting dogs on new pages? didn't that poo poo go on for like a loving month? it was like they couldn't decide if they wanted to be zany and fun GBS bullshit or a serious discussion forum

you haven't been on the forums long enough, in the 2000s it was almost all libertarians (including me at the time)

That is the poo poo that really gets to me. Like libs have bought into this abject delusion that "unaccompanied minors" is an accurate descriptor and not just a piece of legal fiction but how the gently caress do you square that with literal infants being in the kiddie camps

Like you think little Jose's parents took him to the Rio Grande and pointed him north and just released him like a baby sea turtle or some poo poo and he kept crawling until his path intersected with CBP agents? Like come the gently caress on dude, the state is abducting them

The problem is that there is no "ideal solution", there is just the "ideal want". The left can't agree with the left, let alone the liberals or the moderates or the right, on what the collective want should even be, let alone actualize it as a real solution, and are often rooting what those wants are in emotional thinking that can be easily hijacked or derailed by capitalist or imperialist interests

Do the achievable, completely, correctly. You can get lost in the weeds and lead astray very easily with reactionary thinking. Wanting something hard right now is understandable, but not realistic or necessarily helpful if it's stopping you from achieving actual progress

like, I don't think the autonomous zone did the abolish policing discussion any favors, in the end

they tried to jump right to the end and got loving destroyed

occupy wall street also failed to accomplish meaningful change for a lot of similar reasons

you can't just show up at a protest or be part of a political movement and change everything tomorrow by sheer energy and force of will, and refusing to accept anything but what you really want (disregarding that what you really want is contrary to what many other people want) is a great way to get nothing at all

That's all fair with your edit. I don't mean to be an rear end, I know I get emotional defending what aught to be and I don't need to ne abrasive to allies. Doing the right thing correctly is the preferred outcome. I would just feel better if I knew that more politicians felt the same way.
