I didn't project beyond what conclusions your comment lead me to.

Please do not put words in my mouth

See, if I were to quote you directly I would have done it like this.

Instead I used quotes without the indent, to paraphrase you in a way that I thought both accurately condensed and focused what you wrote in a way that highlighted what it came across to me as a ridiculous question.

Given the threaded discussion structure where anyone can go back and see exactly what a person has written, the idea that I am somehow able to misrepresent you is a rather odd take.

Perhaps "defeatist"?

No.

Sounded more like existential nihilism to me.

Paraphrasing me as saying "they'll win anyway" in regards to fascists (nazis or otherwise) strips what I said of important context.

You literally wrote

until fascism wins anyway

But I did strip the context of neoliberalism because I answered it a sentence later by urging you to get involved to make the world you want.

There's nothing "lucky" about voting, anymore there's lucky in cleaning. You either clean or you'll live in filth. You either defend your rights or you have them eroded and taken away.

The Republicans were not always fascists and the Democrats were not always so neoliberal which means things can change if enough people get involved to change them.

Unions, local elections, political activism etc all matter.

You don't expect perfection, you get involved and you vote in the public transport analogy.
