Man, I’ve been saying this for years. I had a roommate try and convince me that I shouldn’t “drown with my ideals”. Like, bitch, power without any ideals to guide its application is only good for maintaining itself!

If you take a step back, what you see right now is exactly why Realism is a dead end. A core part of realism is this idea that there are no ideals, and no rules based on ideals. Trump and Putin act very much on those notions. And look where it has led them? One disaster after another. Ideals matter.
