  • Americans are protesting in historic numbers regularly. Larger than anything aside from the earth day protests that I am aware of. This narrative that Americans are rolling over and accepting this is false. It’s not being reported.

    Of course that’s not enough l, but it’s counterproductive to spread information that contributes to a sense of learned helplessness. Trump is a traitor and a serial child rapist and murder, and all true Americans believe this and are fighting however they can.






  • This is one thing I noticed after coming here from reddit- I realized I was addicted to how angry reddit made me feel. It’s another kind of dopamine.

    I feel like people are nicer here.

    To your point, I’ve come to realize that just feeling angry all the time doesn’t really accomplish anything. It’s better to do some things to take action. So I’ve taken to helping the angry people find something helpful to do rather than stoking each other’s anger all the time. I think there’s an outrage addiction element at play here, as odd as that may sound.

    I don’t really believe there should be explicit bans on politics in any particular space, personally, but I do think we as individuals can do better to look after each other’s mental health and contribute productive things to whatever conversational space we find ourselves in.
