    If you looked at Reddit, you would see that any criticism of Kirk is largely being equated to celebration or at least supporting it.

    Even if you ignored that, people are getting fired in droves for saying mild things, and the fascists are trying to force people nationwide to either keep quiet or participate in memorials. Just yesterday Oklahoma tried to force their school children into a minute of silence for the monster.

    And even if you ignored that, just posting Kirk’s quotes are making a lot of people angry.

    And even if you ignored that, there’s a huge attack overall on the left’s free speech in general. The Nazis are declaring war on us from the administration, saying they will dismantle the left. And declare leftists terrorist groups.

    None of this is okay. Open your eyes.

















  • Yeah. It took me a long time to leave honestly. It’s scary to leave all your friends and family. I ultimately had an early mid life crisis and made me say fuck it and do it, but I get people choosing not to (even if it’s a choice, it sometimes feels like it’s not).

    I both hate the idea of moving back but also think I will some day. I kind of miss my family even though they’re extremely difficult to deal with a lot of the time. And I can’t leave my parents out to dry when they get old, regardless of all the trauma they caused me.


  • To think cities cause humans to just be themselves is as foolish as the foolishness your post was an answer to.

    That’s not what I said. I said they bring out human nature. Which is a reaction to this idea that people in cities have bad manners or are somehow worse people. All my rural friends and family who didn’t leave think cities are horrible and likely think like the person I responded to.

    And yes cities are not all the same but my point is that they exist because there are enough people to have an actual economy. Walk down main street and any small town America and you’ll see the stark difference I’m trying to point out. No money in those places at all. Extreme poverty running rampant. Half of businesses shuttered.
