Because ultimately, you know you can’t win an intellectually honest debate, and you know you don’t actually have ethical arguments to make anymore, and you know the politicians you want to execute your goals have strapped themselves into indefensible positions… and you’re too scared of the mild possibility of being mildly inconvenienced or discomfited by slightly more left-wing politicians you’ve found yourself just trying to muddy the waters.
Like, sometimes you write a small amount of honest, observant statements, and when it’s in a short post, it’s more likely to just be that… but in longer posts, or as part of longer posts, you try making honest words do dishonest work out of, I don’t know, fear that a small increase in your taxes could happen, or that some fiction you find yourself clinging to (like Reaganomics or some kind of still nationalistic version of Christianity, I don’t know) could be disproven.
It’s why it’s not really worth addressing you accept for fun and engaging with others most times now - your posts do not include enough consistency or clarity to argue with.
