And then I have to wonder, who runs .ml? If this ideology is being promoted so radically that people get banned even attempting to discuss this

You were banned from a community, not the instance. The community is run by Geneva_Convenience (who I have some problems with, but don't really disagree with in this case).

You don’t even need a tinfoil hat to see that if .ml is indeed russian made, trump is a russian plant (buy russian oil), then it all makes perfect sense.

You do need a tinfoil hat. You've constructed a conspiratorial worldview where everyone who disagrees with you, no matter why can be dismissed as secretly working for sinister foreigners. Even if one group disagrees with you from a left-wing perspective and another disagrees with you from the right, even if some are Marxists and some are anarchists, it's all "RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!"

If you come back down to earth, surely you must understand that not everyone agrees with you on everything. It seems like liberals have this extremely narrow range of what "disagrees with me, but isn't a foreign asset" looks like and I'm pretty sure it's just Bush-era neocons. It's legit crazy. I seriously think y'all just need to read books, like, not even leftist theory, just anything outside of the present day culture war. Just to understand that other perspectives exist, beyond Fox News and CNN.

I understand this viewpoint. I think it’s less an opinion and more a neurological condition: being so embedded in an ideology which is by the power of AIPAC impossible to achieve in today’s political landscape. This is a rather neurodivergent absolutist approach hoping for a utopia any smart person know is not achieved within the parameters of today’s power structure.

"Impossible." You sure like to throw that word around. What's really impossible?

Every year, the gap between the rich and the poor increases. Every year, carbon emissions increase and the temperature rises, the weather itself becomes more and more unstable, making it harder to grow food. Every year, there are more refugees displaced, both from climates becoming uninhabitable and from the bombs we drop on innocent people for no good reason.

Nothing that we are doing right now, as a society, is sustainable. Which is to say that it is impossible for the things we're doing to be sustained. The reasons why they're unsustainable are not just because of human systems or individual politicians, but because of physical, natural laws.

Now, you say it's "impossible" to divert course, and physics says that it's impossible to stay the course, who do you think is gonna win? If we make a law that says we can flap our arms and fly, and the laws of physics say we can't, who wins? And you say I'm the one with a "neurological condition?"

This mortal, human system can insist that it's "impossible" to change all it wants. But it will. If it does not bend, it will break. I would prefer it to bend, I am trying to make it bend, and you keep telling me that it's "impossible" for it to bend. Alright then, it will break. Not because of anything I do or say, not because I want it to, but but because it is physically unsustainable.

Any strategy or plan I present, you'd just pick apart and dismiss, because you don't grasp that. It doesn't matter what the system claims is impossible, there won't be a system if we can't make things happen. If you understood that, you'd be in the same boat as me, looking for a way to make the necessary changes and dismissing any strategy that just aims to uphold the status quo. But if you believe that you can sustain the unsustainable, or that you can trump physical laws with human laws, there's no real point in discussing strategy because we're not viewing the situation the same way.
