You sound like an abusive parent. Probably should seek therapy. You also reminded me of this well worded Tumblr post. Here’s the text
Everyone will not just
If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At [no] time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.
Again. Stop blaming the many, start blaming the few.
Then make it easier for people to show up. Have locations open for a whole week. Universal mail in ballots. Compulsory voting. Hell, why not digitize it like Estonia did 20 years ago.
Voters aren’t the problem. The problem is voter suppression. Partially by FPTP, partially by our oppressive economy. Stop blaming the many and start blaming the few
“essential oils and clean eating” = arguing online and calling politicians
“Chemotherapy” = actual revolution
Would people have felt empowered to vote for him first if it wasn’t ranked choice?
Completely missed my point. Stop blaming the voters and start blaming the politicians who refuse to put regular people’s lives above the wishes of their wealthy benefactors.
Complaining about lefties not supporting a party that hates lefties is not going to fix the problems at hand

Four seasons the old fashioned way when people were complaining about a long winter and short summer. I think those people are wrong and it saddens me that global warming made their wish reality
Shit, you made the same comment I had in mind but worded it way better
I’m going to lightly disagree with most of the comments in this post. The states (likely the world) is getting ready for a big transition. I don’t think that’s something that can (or should tbh) be ignored. As in, cutting yourself off from the news completely isn’t a realistic way to get closer to that peace you’re looking for. I think the way to keep the dread from consuming you is to know that you’re doing your part in countering bad actors.
That doesn’t mean you have to become a freedom fighter or a protest organizer. I like what the guy with the goats was talking about in connecting with his community. Or you can volunteer with an organization that brings food to the homeless or whatever. Maybe start a community garden (or edible forest). Something big or small that helps you feel you’re making the world a better place even just in your own little piece of it, even if you limit to a day or two each week.
Then the bad news becomes a little easier to cope with. Because even though you’re never going fix the world by yourself (that can only happen collectively), at least you know you’re doing what you can to help. At least for me, that helps the noise quiet down enough to take the time to get lost in a book or something.
Hyperindividualism is a large part of what is wrong with modern society. Yes, we need our alone time, my introverted ass fully recognizes that. But we’re still social creatures and truly can’t meaningfully survive on our own. Isolating yourself long term will only further deteriorate your mental health. Community is the best and only way to get out of the situation we find the world in. The anarchist version of that is building a community that can provide all the needs to the members of it. The socialist version is political organizing. The liberal version is calling politicians. The conservative version is ignoring it and staying isolated.
Analyze after the fact. I just try to convince myself I’m wrong about things and hopefully I’m not successful the majority of the time. Think about any specific situation I feel I need to, and compare how I acted with how I would want to act. It’s an active maintenance process that means hopefully i have more interactions that line up with what’s desired. More than if I just allowed myself to act entirely on instinct
This is the best answer !fuckcars
Plenty of good real solutions in the comments here. My creative solution is to add a feature to everyone’s phone that automatically will FaceTime them with someone also on their phone in the area. You can’t turn it off, you can only add people to your default list. No guarantee they’re who you connect to though.
I think if you throw that term around that actually diminishes the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for.
He’s selling the Republican playbook
“oh God how is your entire family this attractive”
This is kind of a bad question for this comm, but not a horrible idea for a pinned post
Something that would generate unique and interesting answers
You should keep it that way
Yeah people need to do what they’re told, that’ll stop fascism. /s
Why don’t you point that attitude at the DNC (the ones who are actually supposed to do what we say)? Why don’t you ask them to take responsibility for their actions? They could’ve won if they had listened instead of literally plugging their ears when being told they were doing wrong.
