😂😂 Extremely stubborn and prone to hate, sounds about right.
It's definitely stuff like this that interests me. I think eventually - when the dust finally settles - people are going to have to start talking again. Not like we are now, communicating with the intent of making things better. I have hope that if someone like that can be convinced to have even a little empathy for the people they've been told to hate, then there's hope for the rest of them (and us all). I'm sorry that I insulted you, I should not have implied you were in an echo chamber - nor that you were the type of person to respond without reading.
I think I'm done doing this though. I've done the work of being a patient debater for too long. I just want to give into hedonistic mud slinging at this point because I kind hate to say it but I think the world might be politically doomed anyway. I might as well get my jollies.
I just burned all my patience to nothing obsessing for so long. Decades of my life. And even if I somehow recover my political energy, I'll still be living with the knowledge that my country let Trump win a second time. That 70% either voted for Trump or failed to vote against him and let him win. Its really hard to have hope with that knowledge. I'll probably just kind rage for a bit, and then when I save enough money I want to flee to some other country if possible.
You don't need to worry about insulting me. I probably deserve some insults.
I hope you manage to avoid the bitter void that I've fallen into.
