    I suppose with most of the world population being traumatized to varying degrees, the more that came, the more it was bound to happen. It’s quickly turning into a reddit/FB style craptastic place to be, and a lot of users, including mods, are extremely abusive with varying justifications of why their pet flavors of abuse is acceptable, reactionary or otherwise.

    I don’t know how sincere anyone running is anymore, but it seems excruciatingly obvious that neither of the two major parties have the regular person’s interests in mind, other than how to gaslight and abuse them for more labor and more donations. I suspect it’s the unavoidable outcome of unbridled, naked capitalism. I’ve been there. And today I’m not.

    I’m sorry to see you treated so badly. I enjoy many of your posts and appreciate that there are other people in the world who seek alternatives to the illusion of alternatives we are presented. I’m not a toddler and I don’t care for the blue or red shirt. I want the tie died multicolor, because life isn’t black and white, nor varying shades of grey. It’s those and unlimited possibilities outside those. Thanks so much for persisting. 🫂

      Thank you for the kind words. Now welcome to the same downvote club I am in! lol

      Seriously tho, thanks. And what’s really telling is that they are this mad just because I post articles. I didn’t even write the news and they are this mad! lol

        You are so welcome, friend. Thank you, and it’s fine. I look at how long after the initial recognition that if it’s not ok for others to do it to me, then it’s not ok for me to do it to others, to actually put in the effort to change, to how quickly i I had a relapse (even to defend, not abuse), to trying it again, and I understand. Not wanting to admit I have behaviors that are just as ugly, then again how long it took me to even work up the courage to try to be better than myself (be best isn’t a bad ideal to strive for), I get it. Behaviors that are trauma responses in the beginning become habits become acceptable. I will relapse again. I will try again.

        So this is just to say, when I realize how hard it is to honestly look at and control myself, I get how hard it is for my fellow humans, and with practice and persistence, learn to give a little grace. I’m happy to share this journey with a few kind, extremely brave and strong individuals such as yourself. May the force/source/our better services be with us.

        Sending you a hug across the ethers. May you be happy and whole.

            I really mean every word I said, especially about being honored to share the path with you. Certainly the kingdoms of heaven and hell reside within us.

              Bruh…

              If this isn’t the same person talking to themself from two different accounts… Then I dunno what to say. Maybe meet up IRL cause you’re meant to be.
