Recession has always been the point.
Rich get richer; everyone else gets poorer.
Without fail, wealth inequality worsens and never falls back to pre-recession levels.
Best we can do is cut into the blue collar maga base in a way they understand at their 4th grade selfish and aggressive predisposition: the rich are stealing your shit.
My friend, do what makes you happy – especially so when not at the expense of someone else. Your family’s input is somewhat irrelevant in this case. It only matters whether you think you’ll feel more free thereafter.
Divorce is perfectly fine no matter what age you are. Rid yourself of these archaic religious tropes and you’ll feel so liberated.
Also why their children aren’t in sweatshops.
Did I ever?
If that’s what you took away from that, then I encourage one take a reading comprehension course.
Do you think these confirmed nazis that were punched reevaluate their ideological belief set, or it further reinforces their beliefs?
To the bystander (“normie”) and especially vulnerable outcast who witnesses it, what is your hope they’d take away from that? For at least here in America many on the left hold a high standard for free speech and a strong separation of words versus physical violence. My concern would then be that we’re perceived as hypocrites if we can’t reason them out of this belief set but are ourselves forced to proactive violence.
To me I view nazi beliefs as a mental illness no differently than drug addiction. And also a product of parental neglect, abuse, trauma, and poor education. Beating sense into them to me sounds ironically like a conservative methodology, as dangerous and violent as their beliefs are.
It’s been my goal to make an effort to reconnect with people through the months of September and November. We’ll see how it goes.
I tried to reconnect with an old good friend of mine but he has kind of gone off the deep end, deep into drugs and conspiracy theories. We used to see eye-to-eye on things. Used to be compassionate, informed. Kind of a burnout now.
He asked me recently what I thought about “the shot” knowing my partner and I both worked in hospitals during that time. He got immediately cold when I was blunt about my pro-vaccine stance after he prodded. After he got cold, I reciprocated and that’s that. Oh well. Hope he finds stability. I can’t put out everyone’s fire.
My sister is another story that I started to write about, but I think I’ll save that for another time. That one naturally hurts the most.
