this extends to the gesture of saying that all political gestures are useless.

so your cynicism about what other folk might find important is as useless as you see the gestures to be-----perhaps even more so, because you violate your own logic when you make the useless move of trying to demonstrate the uselessness of the move.

unless of course, the idea was not to persuade, or even to make a gesture, and to thereby demonstrate the uselessness of your particular move.

but that would demonstrate the effectiveness of a useless strategy of demonstrating uselessness, which would make it useful in a way.

so that's not good.

i'm not sure i see a way of this useless loop.

just saying.
