  • I suspect it's hopelessness. The people I saw start smoking young didn't expect to hit 80 in any way that was desirable. Cancer, lung disease, heart attacks… those are future problems, and those who don't believe themselves to have a future don't care at best and are happy to go at worst.

    The thing a lot of them didn't get was that the years it takes are the ones coming soon, not the ones far off into the future.

    I hate that I've been places I can see this happening. And they'd all call themselves responsible gun owners because they tell their kid where the gun is and not to touch it

For all I knew it was edgy jokes from an era where fascism was still outside the Overton window, or he just became a low key supporter of modern fascism but without any stunts big enough to get noticed
