You think I'm playing any side? Of what argument exactly? I'm just telling people how the world is working. I don't really care what you think of me in particular lmao

I looked through some of your comments and I agree with the sentiments expressed in many of them. I had actually already +1'd a small handful of them. I do have to wonder what you actually believe though since, in your pragmatism you have already stated a maxim to sacrifice truth/honesty for power. Regardless of which side(s) you are actually on, you are playing yourself if you are going to live by this model of reality and doubly so if you then go on to openly espouse it. In my absolutist mentality, it is better to be 100% honest, for the sake of the truth, because in it you can prove your trustworthiness to somebody and have a real connection at least with them, even if the whole rest of the world totally sucks. Even if your enemies do cut you down one day through grimy means, you still at least lived some of your life in truth. That's a life worth living. A life spent consciously engaging in dirty tactics is not.

You have said you don't care what I think, but I have little certitude to believe you really mean that, so I will say it; I think you are totally lost until you back up and reconsider this line of reasoning.
