I’m at the “I’m actually glad I experienced all that crazy traumatic stuff” stage of the gas lighting.

Stop resisting. STOP RESISTING! OK ass hole you wanna fuck with me, your getting extra charges you piece of shit.

Too late, your in jail now anyway.

Where’s the shooting gallery?

Mint has become my fav as well. If not, it’s gonna be chocolate. I don’t like big hard chocolate pieces tho. Easy to chew ones plz. The big ones get hard af when frozen.

Yea I don’t really see a solution besides slow ass progress which is kind of untenable anyway, and, generally speaking, I’ve never known a group of people to work together unanimously for good…rare at best, and usually only after some collective trauma, which we have largely desensitized ourselves to.

I’m definitely not being locked down, that’s for sure. But that’s just me. I don’t fly, hell I barely drive outside of work. I don’t know.

To install some sense of principle/awareness into a vast swath of people would take insane restructuring in my country at least.

I’d like to invoke my right to be forgotten, can you please remove my ID from this site? Thanks

I really feel what you have said.

I’ve found that the most I can do is to touch people in my everyday, hopefully sparking some sort of revolution within themselves, but not in an intrusive or dogmatic way. I live in a particularly conservative area, and I find that they are just people, people whove been indoctrinated to the point of apathy, with a side of fear of the unknown ie racism etc. I’m knee deep in the shit, and it’s overwhelming sometimes.

I am not hopeful for any political or economic agenda. But I am hopeful of the human spirit.

It’s pretty resilient, but also malleable. You add in our self perpetuating ‘I me mine’ mentality and you end up with bad actors taking advantage of the majority, decent people.

I do agree that the 1st world, at least where I am, would need something pretty tragic to spark some sort of sweeping change. We are not taught self awareness, at least I wasn’t, and I think that’s where alot of our progress will need to come from.

I’m a coy wolf now

Yea that’s where I’m at. Human nature is a bitch.

I believe I’m an anarchist at heart, though I’m not sure the world, with its current population, is ready for that level of self reliance and community building. Lots of learned behavior to break.

We kind of dug ourselves a mighty deep hole as a species. We need to be better.

Growing up in a western capitalist state has left me fairly jaded as far as politics go, tbf

The question always comes down to how do we stop people from being bad. The answer escapes me tbh.

Lol yep been there, only I couldn’t really feed myself to well in that instance.

We are particularly oblivious for sure. We are isolated, by design, even from eachother. It doesn’t help that the u s is a massive country. Mindfulness is not really our strong suit, and the people traveling are usually the more privileged among us Americans.

I was talking to a woman who travels a bunch and she was complaining about how the world saw us, all while telling a story that was super cringe, prime example, of this behavior, and “omg the way they treated me”…I could do nothing but roll my eyes tbh

Ya that sounds fkn horrible.
