Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

I find it hard to believe anyone who watches anime can be so oblivious to the constant themes ever present in almost all anime. Duty, self empowerment, sacrificing ones self for others, overcoming the impossible, applying your unique talents to defeat the enemy, etc. If you can enjoy any of that media you can motive yourself to solve the simple puzzles politics represent.

But fuck if I give a about this helplessness you've adopted. You sound like some sort of lame parody of myself.
yep, you've got him.
It's a very pretty picture, but I live in a world surrounded by people who want me disarmed and physically unable to confront the bad guys. Gimme a magic sword and the capacity to tank a lot of hits from the evil fighters I confront with talk no jutsu and I'll l give that effort a try.
My unique talent is putting into words how voting is a Rubik's cube your mom gives you so you'll shut up for a minute in the back of the car while she's driving. She's driving over a cliff and thinks a parachute will help her while making your death look like an accident despite how she's prepared with a parachute while driving over a cliff. If enough people understand what I'm saying, maybe they'll organize externally and actually do something that might help. I have more hope for this than faith in voting, but recognize that neither is likely to help anything.
