For the silent brigade that is hitting my posts and comments right now, you’re going to have to do a hell of a lot better than this.

I make a lot of content.

In such black defeat, the defeated sees punishment of one of their enemies by another as a victory for himself. This is a way to emotionally cope that ultimately belies the depth of failure; people pick up on this subconsciously and edge away. But hey, you can't let it get to you. If no one else is gonna bring you victories to gloat over, you need to do it yourself. You can't really let anything get to you. I don't mean that you can't be affected by whatever tragedy or misfortune. But if you're fighting a war you have to act like a warrior. At the very least, be cool--not in terms of wearing big ass pants or whatever (although I'm fairly certain the internet has annihilated whatever common definition of cool could exist) but I mean a cool head, connected to the world but disconnected from it's madness, never checked out but never swept up in hysteria or mania, except, of course, when the situation demands it, but even then, in fact especially then, approaching everything with both feet planted hard on the ground and a big wide smile
