  Truthfulness does not imply that something is not partisan. That it's brought up as a talking point to motivate a certain line of thinking is what makes it partisan. > You should read up on game theory. It doesn't matter what I do How does this differ from "I might as well drop my trash on the ground in the park, because everyone else is going to do it anyway" ? You're fallaciously excluding the middle - there will always be some people who drop their trash on the ground. So a clean park must employ groundskeepers to pick it up. But such centralized action can never make up for mass distributed behavior, so it behooves us all to adhere to and propagate good culture that keeps most people from throwing their trash on the ground. And the same dynamic applies to basically every societal construct. So no, I do not buy your [self-serving] argument that the culture you're simultaneously bemoaning and also engaging in is inevitable.
