Yes, I must be dogmatic, because I’m regurgitating talking points, providing unfalsifiable narratives that come directly from anti-democratic actors who want to discourage voting, and I don’t cite any sources or studies pointing to a problem that definitely exists and which we can tangibly prove after years of looking really hard. (slash s if you need it) I’d love for you to see the irony of all this, including the pull quote from the analysis I sent (US’s registration problems are one of the reasons its system is so mid!), crossed against your desire for a more convoluted registration system, or for you to have that “aha” moment when you recognize the accusation is a confession, but I think we’ve reached the end of this particular discourse, and so I send you back like a trout to the sad unfalsifiable mad waters of the internet that continue the proud paranoid style in American politics par excellence. adieu

Woof this is a historically bad take, but also a really good example of the impoverished imagination of current tech-bro determinism, the barely-concealed veil of “I’m too smart for y’all, I’m a genius, I can’t waste my time,” rather than curiosity about why stories (including all the fictions he unknowingly buys into) have been foundational to every culture for all time.
