  • The problem is that America has fuuuuucking suuuuuuucked for my entire lifetime, and the lifetime of my parents, and really for its entire existence barring maybe a handful of moments. There is no “great” moment for us to return to. To be honest, the only difference between the authoritarian government we have now, and the authoritarian government we have had for nearly 250 years, is that it’s scaring white moderates for the first time.

    Our goal should not be to try and find some mythical moment of American greatness we need only return to. Our goal should be to bring to light how awful our country has always been, how that awfulness has directly led to what we are now, and to reject that awfulness to forge a bold new future.





  • No, you’re a human. All of us have generally done shitty things, especially when we were teenagers and were exceptionally shitty versions of ourselves. You’re not “marked by sin” or whatever religious nonsense some people like to say, none of what you did then has to define your present or your future. If anything, feeling bad about the things you did in the past shows that you have grown up, learned some empathy, and become a better person.
