I tried; I failed. I tried again; I failed. I tried again; I thought I finally succeeded. I was wrong.
I think I’m done trying.

I agree. My wife looks at houses on Zillow for laffs at the atrocious prices and there are so many that I point out were originally meant for multigenerational families and should still be that way. That needs to be A Thing again.
The pandemic made it clearer than ever that society is an illusion.

I’ve got it under control for the most part, especially in the last few years. But it’s a chronic, episodic disease and while I’ve fought it off since I was a child, so it can always come back for another round. That said, I’ve gotten better at it since I actually have a tangible reason to live.

I’m not, though I do support the SRA and encourage arming the left. I don’t have guns because I have I history of suicidality, although I’m p. sure that will just invite you to say I should go ahead and eat a bullet now.

You’re not wrong. He did say that he would only go with a single term, but he reneged on it.

But anyway, I don’t want it to come down to it but I constantly worry that it will: there is the second amendment and all that. I do support the SRA. Maybe if I knew with absolute certainty that we were well enough organized, I’d be less worried about who I vote for.

To be more accurate, it’s less about Trump—because he’s a moron—but more about encroaching Christian theocracy.

You’re absolutely right. I hate it, it’s turned what could be a real movement into just more infighting, and what’s more, it burns people out

I think that ultimately we agree on everything but this, and it’s going to ruin us all. I genuinely don’t know what to do because everything is absolutely fucked. I just don’t know what else to say anymore.

You know what? Fair. You’re right, it was a bad approach and I apologize. I appreciate that you put it this way rather than just sniping. I’m just lashing out after being told for months that if I vote for Biden I *explicitly* support genocide. It’s not true, it’s just out of fear and a lack of hope

She was an idiot, just the worst candidate to run in 2016.

Man, look, if I weren’t already so tired and burned out after decades of this shit, I’d go so far as to say that Trump and his ghouls were *literally* a long con distraction by both the GOP and democrats that wasn’t supposed to get this far. This is a war of attrition, isn’t it.

It very much goes both ways here.

It’s pretty nihilistic to say that nothing you can do works and then provide no alternatives when asked. “Not supporting genocide” is vague and useless as fuck when you put nothing behind it.

I’m just tired of being told I support the genocide because I’m terrified of what is going to come next. Like I’m some kind of ghoul because I’m worried about the safety of my daughter. Do these people seriously think I want this shit to keep happening, or that I’m evil for protecting my family?

You’re absolutely right. It’s shit. We are at the worst place for this.

Great! Finally, someone actually responds in earnest! With something sensible! I agree, we do need to protest harder, and a general strike has been in order for years, before *this* even started. Furthermore I have been keeping track of those whose profits go to Israel and refusing to buy from them.

Fine. Tell my daughter that her rights to her own body are low priority. Pal.

What else have you done? Everyone’s already established that voting doesn’t work. So what next? Protest? Yeah, I’ve been doing that too. What now? What are you actually doing apart from staying home? Anything?

What should people do to hold Biden’s feet to the fire? You said yourself that protesting won’t do it. So what do you suggest?

Fucking christ. Worse for all the women in my family, for starters, but I guess if they aren’t killed, then it isn’t worse at all in your mind. I have doubts that you even do anything apart from screaming at people on the internet.

No shit, but I asked *you* what people should do to make it happen. You didn’t answer, and you still won’t.
