Yeah, no stop with that. I’m not going to take this moderate kumbaya bullshit that hasn’t worked and will never work. We’re backsliding so far that things will be worse than the 50s in 2 months. There’s no compassion left for any of these Nazis, and there never will be again. I’ll gladly step over and on their corpses if that’s what it takes. If their own policies leaves them dying and starving I don’t give a flying fuck.
There’s no morality in sitting here and taking abuse from people that have not only sold out the country but have consistently demonized, witch hunted, and are apathetic to any misfortune directly or indirectly caused. 10 years ago your argument had merit. 5 Years ago you weren’t right but had the moral high ground despite it all. 2 years ago I’d have side eyed you, said that Christians/Conservatives/Religion is the worst thing that humanity has ever created and will bring the downfall of us a species, and then I’d have gotten push back but I wouldn’t have been silenced. Today you’ve got nothing to stand on imo.
There is only anger left, as far as hatred that’s come about because I’m forced to constantly consider people that have actively hated me for existing. Having to know when the genocide starts will do that. The audacity to say that I need to stop being angry, that I need to basically let it go. When I could straight up die in the next 2 years because sky fairy cultists have decided to initiate the purge is honestly ridiculous.
I’m sorry. I also feel anger and fear. I am desperately looking for ways to take action that are at least potentially effective, even if there is risk and personal cost to myself. I do not feel like a “moderate”.
I also do not want to lose sight of my own value system. Trump is full of vengeful hate. I would rather be a good person who got killed trying to make things better than be still alive but consumed with vengeful hate / hurting other people.
I am not religious - but I am a pacifist at heart. The people I admire most are folks who brought about massive change through non violent means - not people who won wars.
And honestly even if the political stuff all suddenly became ok (it won’t) the billions of people who will die from climate change is inevitable- so that gives me some perspective. Like we are ALL going to die. What is the best I can do with the time I have?
I do not have answers. Maybe - as you suggest - everything I do will be ineffective. I share your fear and dread, but if I can’t continue to value love over hate then I have already lost.
Yeah no, I’m apathetic usually because I know I’d become really unhinged. But when the time comes I’m fighting to the death, I’d be pissed to die without taking anyone down with me. I’m not letting them take me away so the last bit of my life is slow torture or worse some fucked up torture porn. I’m not letting go of my anger because I’d stop fighting and just ignore it everything. If I survived off of that? Off of never fighting? I’d never be able to look at my reflection again.
I’m not saying I need to be uncontrolled with my anger, but I’m going to act with it as my fuel.
Death from climate change is still fixable probably, and even if it’s not we can at least kill these billionaires and old politicians that have caused it. so they don’t get to hang out as the rest of us slowly die.
