all existing states act through realpolitik. i dont think it has anything to do with a "pessmistic attitude", it has more to do with the present order of things etc. realpolitik can be justified ideologically with "progressive" paradigms by the ruling class etc.
people who are not part of the elite/ruling class that believe idyeologicall "political realism" are really sad creatures, because in their hatred for humanity, they ironically hate themselves too.
Believe me, nobody here believes there is one of the world's greatest hegemonies happening in the United States right now more than me, but I would like to believe this can be solved through us getting out the vote.
If this doesn't change in the next 10 years MAYBE we will need more action
