  • stop thinking about yourself and think about the people you hurt. what do they want? would they feel better if you apologized, or worse? have you ever asked them? have you ever owned the damage you did? it’s like you’re asking us to make you feel better after you hurt someone else. make it about them, instead.

    if there’s a specific incident you can remember, consider approaching the person it affected and taking responsibility for it. pay for the thing you broke. apologize for the thing you said. be accountable for it, however they need you to be
















  • The Lemmy users who call themselves “Leftists” are garbage human beings. Shitty, hostile, unnecessarily combative, will disagree with you about anything you say even when you’re on the same page.

    And most of them aren’t really that left. Trying to talk about abolition of police and prisons is something they would never agree to, even though it’s a fundamentally leftist ideal. They’re just bad people.






  • Your title should have read “How do you destroy the notion that Republicans are the good guys?”

    There are far too many Americans that support the far right. They’ve been convinced that conservatism will protect their interests, even while it blatantly destroys them. It is a morally greater objective to turn these people around, and more practically achievable, than undermining its opponent.

    Yes, we know. You think liberalism is an ally of conservatism, not an opponent. We’re all very impressed with your extensive knowledge, bravo. You’ve shown nuanced and deep understanding of the political landscape by criticizing the contender of the enemy.

    I think most people who criticize the left are like you. More interested in stroking their egos than actually solving a problem. You’re trying to demonstrate mastery of a subject by being critical of it, not because you want it to change but because you want people to be impressed with you.

    If you actually wanted things to get better you’d be teaching people to undermine conservatism, which is the greater threat.

    Be better.
