    You keep going on about entirely unrelated things that have nothing to do with the scenario, weird. Maybe I’m not making the scenario clear enough, if so, I apologise. Let me try to do better:

    Imagine you’re sitting on a chair in a small room, there’s nobody there except a machine with two arms carrying a shit sandwich in one hand, a shit sandwich drenched in vomit in the other. The machine is going to feed you one of them, whether you like it or not. There is no way to protest this event, it is going to happen, regardless of what you want or think or say. You can complain to management later, if you like, but right now you are going to be fed one sandwich. Your choice is only in which one.

        You keep bringing up genocide and it’s seriously weird because that’s nowhere in the scenario. Sandwiches, one with and one without vomit, is what you’re choosing.

          Lmao. Are you removed? You get the genocide in the middle east despite the dems or repubs being in power. Which rock do you live under?

            Yeah. That’s not in the scenario though. Do you need more details about the scenario? I can describe the room if you like. The machine is beeping at a steady pace of once per 12 seconds, waiting for you to choose a sandwich.

              Your machine means nothing to me, I don’t live by the virtue of your machine, lol. The peons that are subject to your machine disgust me, the ones that refuse to revolt anyway.

              You are disgusting to me, the same way the Nazis who voted for the Madagascar project disgust me.

              Are you too removed to understand what I’m saying? Or do you need a more direct reference?

                I don’t know what the issue is. It’s a simple scenario, isn’t it? Is the problem in my description or are you not able to imagine yourself in a hypothetical scenario in general? Incapable of putting yourself into another, imaginary person’s shoes? That sounds rough, mate.

                    What I’m doing is of no concern to the scenario.

                    Again, in this scenario, you will be eating one of the shit sandwiches, no matter what you do, no matter how you try to bargain, plead, yell, cry, go to protest after you’re done, successfully enact change to the system afterwards, eventually bring about a global utopia - you are in the small room and will be forcefed one of the sandwiches.
