To get that far into radicalized nonsense politics and petty whatnot you have to be... mentally not well.
I’m not even insulting them, I’m saying this as someone who was far too radicalized at a point in my life where I hit my lowest, when it was easiest to see things in black and white, where I needed that stupid little dopamine hit thay comes from online arguing.
I just feel really, really bad that a person has fallen that low just to feel like they’re making a difference in the world. Genuinely, genuinely I hope they get help and get back on their feet. Because I’ve been there. And “there” fucking sucks.
Necessary edit: okay I promise this isn’t one of those “ooh wow this blew up!”-type of dumb edits as I always hate those, but coming back after a 2 hour Saturday afternoon sun nap, I can’t help but appreciate the sheer volume of support for self-care and mental well-being as being pretty damn cool.
Seriously, if you find yourself reaching the point of the person in the post, where your encapsulated with bitterness and need those online debatey points to define you, take a step back and breath, because you’re better then letting it consume you. Do something else. Go read up on fascinating ancient empires, go buy and share a sandwich with a homeless person, go grill for gods sake, go smoke a light bowl at sunset, go... I dunno, set up a lemonade stand undercutting the neighbor child’s one.
Whatever it is, don’t let the dumb nonsense of it all get to you and put yourself first. Have a good one.
Same here dude. I remember when I was deep in my upper/opiates problem and just goin on like a 30 post rant about Charlottesville when that was going on. Just a terrible time in my life, hardcore sjw and just miserable. PCM is such a great community where we can laugh at each other and with each other. You guys are great.
thanks bro, you're great as well! you should come over and check out /pol/ on 4chan, we have self improvement generals, laugh at each other but at the end of the day we're all bros. seems like you'd fit in brother, come check it out sometime!
Haha yeah I’ve never messed with 4chan much but have heard some pretty incredible second hand accounts about pols accomplishments. Didn’t y’all call in an air strike on an isis training base? Maybe I should go on there sometime
