What do you suggest? Because all your rhetoric is doomer bullshit. Feel paralyzed? Fine. Don't shit on other people trying to do something.

You can organize at home. You can volunteer. You yourself can get off your ass and do something.

If you're not comfortable doing that. That's fine. But please shut the fuck up. Nobody wants to hear how now that this might actually affect you it's so super scary now.

Some of us are trying to do something, anything to help our local communities.

It’s not doomer. It’s being a realist. Down the line, there may be something that can get us out of this- but it won’t be protests.

The man just fired the heads of our military. Do you think shouting at buildings is going to make them say-

“Awww. You know what? They’re right. Let’s be nice to everyone!”

Seriously- what do you think protesting will accomplish? The choir is powerless to stop the church. You know this right? So we’re past preaching to them now.

You're a doomer, you're afraid. You cope by screaming into the void. You preach non violence. Now you're saying we shouldn't be nice to everyone. Protest doesn't work. Do you have a coherent argument or are you too unsettled to have a through line?

ROFL… okay man. I didn’t preach shit. But you go on an have a nice little protest.

I hope those buildings are listening.

So no coherent argument then. Noted.

Yeah. You don’t get to take the W just because you annoyed someone out of discussing something with you. This isn’t how adults interact.

And since you’ve shown that all you’re willing to play the role of me in this discussion, I don’t really have to be here for it.

Just go ahead and fill in my part in this and I’ll come back around in a few hours to have a few laughs.
