Agreed. Cynicism is NOT intellectually superior. It’s unoriginal, boring, and privileged.
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Bingeing American Primeval on Netflix hits different having just returned from Park City Utah, a place of beauty and historic horror. While we were there we met a Navajo man named Tonka who told us how his people were being harassed by ICE. America was born of so many crimes, it’s like we’re stuck.
