    The problem for me is empathy is often the missing ingredient in my disagreements with others, and it’s harder or impossible to foster, teach, or cultivate that empathy via a remote text exchange.

    It is easier to press the button that shocks the stranger when the stranger is in the other room.

    …coupled with that I get enraged at injustice and bigotry enough that it likely affects my blood pressure, as well as my ability to articulate my political views in a respectful and/or cohesive manner.

    The sad part is that some people will read this and think it’s actual advice. Life is way too short for that kind of stress!

    Bit of a privileged take. Life is a lot shorter for all the people around the world getting the shit end of the current political climate.

    But I have infinite rage and anger towards capitalism and the State and it makes me feel bad to keep it pent up 🤬🏴

        ? Unless you were born with all the information and best frameworks, you’re gonna need others to learn about the world. Take a chill pill, Rusty.

          So fucking predictable every time, like clock-work.

          We need to hear the about a monotheistic framework some more, huh?

          The past millennia haven’t been enough? Guess we all really gotta learn about the world, in which what they really mean is their world, since it’s their god’s world that they’re administering for him. By the way, they always need money too, but ya can’t tax 'em. Divine right, and all that.

          Do civilization a favor and take a shut-the-fuck-up pill, you patronizing clown.
