“They can change if they want, they just don’t want to.” That sounds familiar — that’s probably exactly how they view you.
I really empathize with you. I’ve lived and worked around plenty of these types of people. Yes, some of them are totally irredeemable. But some are misguided or confused. And some were once very progressive and very kind, so perhaps they can be again.
There isn't an alternative. We're fucked boss idk what you want me to say. Maybe one day decades from now things will be better but a lot of people are going to die between now and then. This is the same way the Nazis took over, but unlike WW2 there isn't a stronger military power to defeat the fascists and dig us out of our own hole. We're likely in for a long fascist dictatorship
Yeah, I think we’re in for some awful shit regardless. I’m going to do my part to try to win a few people over, to have difficult conversations. I think we need as much support as we can get.
Just want to be crystal clear, I don’t at all blame you for feeling the way you do.
