Again. That was my point! Fear is controlling us.

In current politics: Fears=Votes.
That is the American way. If that is not clear, I can elaborate. But I’m pretty sure you can see it in every comment telling you why to vote a certain way.
Hair does not belong in the mouth. Hope that helps.
That was my point.
Those are the same reasons people use to vote for Trump. I’m around it all the time. People on both sides are voting out of fear of the other side. Reason and reality are no longer relevant in politics. Only fear.
I very much miss the breadth of communities and depth of knowledge that came with Reddit. I am reminded on days like this how disconnected I have become since they burned the books.
It’s so they don’t look racist when they are afraid of being robbed and tell a black person to take off a mask.
This is not entirely true. There are states that outlaw other parties on their ballots. Do not underestimate the powers that thwart any semblance of democracy.
Yup. That’s me. I hate all my options but I show up every time.
It feels like a good comparison to the amount of power we have in our government.
Tell this to Iranians.
In a history perspective, how do we get out of this?
A heartfelt “fuck you” to everyone who told me I was overreacting in July of 2016.
The excuse I get from more intellectual Republican friends is that socialism in countries like Sweden and Norway work because they are monocultural.
Nobody mentioned shifting the cost to tax payers.
I’m with you. Your movie reference really helped solidify it. I assumed I was one of the lonely minds, but this made it clear.
Some things that seem associated with this are my constant cravings for social interaction and intellectual conversation. I can’t give it to myself. I have never understood how people can just do nothing. I never had an invisible friend as a kid. There are many things people say and do that could be explained by having personal voices. There are many struggles with communicating to others that have already had a conversation with themselves before I can share a full thought.
Of course I’m afraid. Probably more realistically than everyone responding as if I wasn’t. I don’t see a way to stop America from sinking further into a dark age.
It blows my mind how anti-intellecualism is so strong when we have so much information at our finger tips. The greedy takeover of Reddit is painful. Like a lobotomy. Finding sources and more perspectives was never easier than what had been built on that site. This last year has made it indistinguishable from other forms of media.
We are perpetually getting dumber and more afraid. And before I am questioned again, “we” includes me.
