most of what's broken about white culture can be explained by their abandonment of family members who don't "produce" in the service of ensuring care can be redirected to maintaining the illusion of patriarch's autonomy
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

My most woke opinion is that autonomy is based in physical support of society and emotional support of our family and friends.

Being nice to people is just fun. Asked young server at taco place how her day was going (fine but tired) and she asked me back. I said I managed to finish my to-do list and she unexpectedly gave me a high five! Treating people like people is always rewarding.
