    That’s a pretty 1-dimensional perspective. If you understand both the shitty reality we live in AND that nothing is black-and-white, you will be a lot more effective at actually pushing the needle towards progress, like so many actual great activists have done which has gotten us to a world where your chances of being murdered and raped and eaten by bandits has fallen dramatically low.

        if it means supporting someone like this guy I’d rather be rotating on a spit tyvm

        That’s just utterly insane hyperbole that most likely has the opposite effect as you might think. I hope you grow more.

            Some people and animals learn they can get attention with negative behavior as much as positive, and just get stuck there forever.

              negative behavior like … not wanting to be on the same side as a former state department mercenary with a Nazi tattoo.

                I love how you’re scrolling around to see if people are talking about you.

                There are some really great hobbies out there that will give you a sense of accomplishment without having to feel connected to the toxicity of politics, I highly recommend taking a break.

        I understand that 100. People kept quiet about Fetterman and his worrying behavior before he was elected, then after his stroke when it was brought up repeatedly, people kept blaming the stroke.

        Yes, people change and maybe Fetterman did and the stroke caused regression; and maybe he didn’t and it didn’t.
