Earlier you made a sarcastic reference to people thinking Trump is "literally Hitler", and now you say that caring about politics is wasting your life. So I'm wondering if you would care if Trump was literally Hitler, murdering millions of people in cold blood and starting wars of aggression. Or would you say that all those dead people don't affect you? Because first they came for the socialists, and if you didn't speak out because you're not a socialist, well, you know how the rest of the story goes.
If you agree that mass murder and genocide are bad and worth opposing, of course, then you admit that there is some point where government misconduct becomes worth struggling against, and we're just arguing about where the line is.
And if you'd rather embrace the "let Hitler do what he wants, I'm looking out for number one" philosophy, I hope you won't mind if I say that we're all better off because enough people rejected that argument 80 years ago.
Mass murders and genociders still exist today. Our own government has a tendency to support them. We don't lift a finger to do anything about it and we don't care about it until we're told to care. I don't think our beliefs or feelings are real. We're probably about as sentient as cattle. We're already ignoring Hitler, and we'll never actually oppose him unless we're given a safe, easy, and trendy corporate-approved way to do so. So I suppose the answer is: Ignore Hitler if you know he'll never be a threat outside of his own third world country.
Here's a question: Why is it that you're somehow always being manipulated by a sociopath for one reason or another? Is it really that hard to understand that rich people and politicians are corrupt and will lie to your face a lot?
