For the record, I never felt that you were fighting back. Nor have I been really disagreeing with you.
And REALLY good point. One thing we fail to realize is how much tribalism affects people as well. No one wants to stand out and be cast out of their tribe. When that happened throughout history, those people died. So when your friends and coworkers say one thing, the most you can do for your own survival sometimes is simply stay quiet.
To add to that, you have hopelessness. What use is trying to make change when the odds are insurmountable. I really feel for people living there. So many people must feel hated by those around them, and they feel like there’s nothing they can do.
Glue it to your bed. To wash, hose it down every few months. It takes about a week to dry the mattress, so you just have to get used to sleeping on a damp surface. Apply Febreze liberally.
On iOS, I used Redact. It worked well to replace all my posts and comments with gibberish. I did the same for Twitter too.

Of America, not of the world. Believe it or not, there are so many other people in the world outside of America.
Also, look at the presidents of the past. America has had many pro-slavery Presidents. Trump was awful, but he wasn’t even the worst President. The fact that so many people felt he was awful also shows that America has progressed.
But back to my first point, you’re looking at a country of 350m out of 8 billion people in the world. The world has moved on from so many of the things that the US continues to struggle with. As a people, we’ve advanced much further than we’ve been in the past.
Edit: wrote a “k” not an “m” for America’s population.
I disagree. We’ve had many political revolutions overthrowing leaders, religion has been on a heavy decline, and most people accept that science or basic logic is the most important element in an argument, not authority.
We just see so many people NOT doing that, and we hate it. We live in a world where the person doing the stupidest thing that day makes the front page, and we’re enlightened enough to critique it.
Stupid people will always exist. The idea that we hear about them more now and we hate them for it actually proves we’ve become more enlightened.
Costs almost always means peoples’ jobs. Stockholders are almost always rich. So the title is really “Takes away peoples’ livelihoods to make rich people more money.”
But if we just cut taxes for the rich, they’ll create more jobs. It’ll trickle down eventually, right? Right?
Workers are also the ones creating value for the company. This is like cutting off your leg so you can say you lost weight.
Everyone looks at me strangely when I ask for 0% sugar in my bubble tea. The pearls already have sugar in them, and when your palette changes, you can taste the tea and milk so much clearer rather than having all of that covered up by the taste of sugar.
It’s best to just change your palette so it doesn’t need sugary tastes anyway. If you don’t want sugar substitutes, just change your diet so your body doesn’t expect sweet things at all. That’s a great move.
