    Problematically the fascists also agree with this meme except it’s exterminating minorities.

      Switch isn’t a good analogy for building socialism either. Fascists already have a base built on hatred. We’re stuck have to convince everybody to stay the course towards something better.

      I’m for eliminating one minority.

      I would say that fascist thinks there’s one switch that can be pressed to save the world, while socialists are working towards a world where everyone can flip their switch and when everyone does it you get communism.

    My great grandfather lived in a place where they pushed the switch and he had to flee the country.

    Everyone who has ever pushed the switch has failed!

    Turning the nob just a little to the right is just like pushing the switch actually.

    Only authoritarian dictators and totalitarian governments push the switch, is that what you want?

    Listen, the only way we can push the switch is by having continuous switch pushing.

    Only the third world can push the switch, anyone else trying to do that is a nob turner in disguise.

    One day aliens will arive and push the switch for us.

      Haven’t you read the work of fiction where pressing the switch is considered bad?

      “Pressing the switch will make us grow decadent! We need everything to be broken to protect our souls!”

      “Have you ever considered just BEING one of the people benefiting from the problems?”

      “Hey, my investment will be ruined if you press the switch! How could you be so inconsiderate?”

      “Didn’t you learn in middle school that one of the government’s enemies are switch-pressers? We don’t believe in switch-pressing here! Think for yourself!”

      “What if…good is the real bad and bad is the real good? Don’t press the switch!”

      “Wow, you want to press the switch? Get a load of mr sanctimonious over here. Who like, caaaaares man? Don’t ask why keeping the switch unpressed is so important to me though.”

      “You’re just jealous the problems like me and not you! Pressing the switch is just you having sour grapes! Neener neener!”

      Name of the game is beating them to the punch. NPC and redpill could have become “left” memes if the left simply did them and spread them first.

    Have we asked the Senate Parliamentarian if we’re allowed to press the switch?

      Too late, Supreme Court already ruled that we’re not allowed to press the switch and must actually destroy it because of a barely related court case in the 1820’s

    Our parents never pressed the switch so it’s wrong for us to press it.

      It wouldn’t be fair to all those people who had to make their way in life without having the switch pressed.

    One party accuses the other of wanting to press the switch, the other party spends millions on ads that say they’re definitely not switch-pressers.
