I want a comrade who will help me govern my world.
I don’t want a dead weight that requires a lot of persuation before they can even let out a fart.
I am thinking ahead. I can persuade you now, and tomorrow I will have to persuade you again. Anytime I want cooperation I will need to persuade you. And you are just one person. I am going nowhere fast with that approach. The default for you becomes one of passivity. And then I have to start persuading you after things have gotten already very bad. That’s late action.
You’re defending a very defensible position with the weirdest arguments.
Your thinking sucks.

That will not do.
That sounds suspiciously like democracy, the thing we would quite like to achieve.
Yeah, I don’t really want to live in “your” world and I definitely want no part in governing it. But I wish you the best in your endeavour.
That’s fair. Then to me you are neutral at best, assuming you are largely apolitical.
Assume whatever you want.
