  • There’s always going to be important issues that are going to be difficult to debate without some level of emotion, especially when talking about politics or the environment, you have to remember that this personally affects people’s lives.

    However it can get overwhelming and it’s important that you have the self-awareness to know when you need to step away.

    I know it’s easy to judge the Internet by its worst actors but you have to remember that everyone needs to learn and be part of the discourse it’s not just the internet, that’s humanity.





  • Wait Cabracadabra is real!?

    I agree with the rest of your comment though, taking special care for vulnerable populations is important and when in a privileged position can (incorrectly) feel like exclusion.

    I think young men who are at a particular vulnerable and formative age seek community and to make their impression on the world.

    That feeling has been weaponized by alt-right influencers to start a culture war in order to stifle class conflict.

    If I have to read one more both sides are terrible “take” that encourages voter apathy I’m going to lose my mind. Vote, people I don’t care who you vote for but you have to vote because apathy is how we get fascism.

    Do something rather than just throwing a piss fit and encouraging others to do nothing.

    There’s a lot of good and bad.

    Bad - Supporting Israel financially, forcing the rail workers back to work from their strike, his environmental policies seem half hearted.

    Good - Forgiving large amounts of student loan debt, having his cabinet work with the DEA at reclassifing weed while promoting the idea publically, putting billions into Urban reconstruction to help cities become less dependent on roads and more accessible for the least fortunate.

    It’s more nuanced than he’s great or awful. He’s just better. As it often ends up coming to in American politics.

    As an aside I long for multi choice voting.
