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.
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.
