Social media

No acknowledgement at all that I literally just answered your question?

What are these? Do they hang on a wall? Do they have stands on the back like a picture frame you put on your desk?

People who are actively working for change in concrete ways don’t often call attention to themselves by posting about it on public social media. If nobody in power is working to silence you, you’re probably participating in controlled opposition and not much else.

The president is the leader of one branch of our three branch system. Cooperation between Mexico and the USA and Canada and the USA is generational and extends across various diverse dimensions like scientific cooperation, infrastructure protection, border security and law enforcement, fire protection and prevention, trade, and food safety, among others. It would take much much more than one presidential administration much longer than four years to make meaningful progress toward the goal of destroying all these cooperative agreements at all levels of government that took generations to build.

Donald Trump sucks but he isn’t America, nor should we be judging any country by the actions of its corrupt billionaire leadership.

Spicy take incoming: it’s pretty great right now. We’re a continental country rich in natural resources. We’re very friendly with our only two major neighbors, Canada and Mexico, so tits hard to imagine us being attacked over a land border. We have tropical beaches and snow sports 365 days a year, and they all speak English and take dollars. Our universities are some of the best in the world and graduate Nobel Prize winners in arts, sciences, and mathematics. Yes the current American experience sucks but for a lot of people it always has and has even sucked worse. We’ve experienced massive civil rights expansions over the past three generations.

If you think America sucks you’re right, and always were, and always will be, but if you can’t think of anything nice to say about it then you’re just not paying attention.

I can think of five reasons you shouldn’t do this.

Whoops now I can only think of 4.

Look up Microsoft in the early 90s and how we all got through it.

I really don’t think you’re being fair. I was in chanology in Clearwater, Arab Spring in Rabat, the second Penguin Revolution in Santiago de Chile, and countless major demonstrations in support of worker rights and LGBT community issues all over the world. When I come on the internet (as I’ve done since 1994), I don’t want to endlessly talk about politics with the normies here. I want to talk about normie topics like cooking, cats, sports, and Taylor Swift. I save my outrage for real world actions.

According to you, I’m practicing an attitude of acceptance with regard to the state of the world because that’s all you see and hear from me. What do you think that says about your worldview and your outlook on people?

I think we’re at a point where we can all agree that having interests beyond what’s serious and exigent is healthy and reasonable. Now we need to get past the idea that not liking something that’s popular (like sports and entertainment) makes you better than people who do. It doesn’t make you better.

People who like Taylor and Travis and want them to do well are not automatically complacent in other areas of their lives. They don’t have their heads up their asses for this reason. They have nothing to be ashamed of, talking about topics that, in your opinion, are useless drivel. Especially here, on the internet.
