An argument that RadLibs have been making lately is that there’s no universe in which a pro-Palestinian candidate gets in reach of the presidency, so you’re obligated to support the least-bad option. So true!

Now let’s do a little extrapolation.

Anyone who’s glanced at even a single page of climate science knows that there is no universe in which the American people and a stable, sustainable global ecosystem coexist. Given this unfortunate but unavoidable reality, it is everyone’s duty to support the Harm Reduction of exterminating 330 million Americans.

Since the odds of humanity going extinct in the next century are approaching 100%, there is no scenario in which zero people die to climate catastrophe.

Given that people are obligated to vote for the candidate who would ensure that 99.9% of Gazans are killed instead of 100%, it is equally true that you must throw all your weight behind the scenario that ensures only 330 million deaths instead of of 8 billion.

If you oppose this Politically Unavoidable Genocide, you are simply a privileged purity Leftist who doesn’t care about Harm Reduction!

    I have a hypothesis that people react differently to the cold calculus of Politically Necessary Genocide when it’s their loved ones who are being offered up for sacrifice. But I suppose we’ll see.

      You think so? No, they’re just being 100% Pragmatic about things, I’m sure their own personal feelings won’t come into the equation at all.
