    What a shock, it starts affecting them negatively and it's not just something they can gossip about on social media anymore and suddenly they drop all their "principles." Yes, the end result is a good thing since it's less Nazi support, but I still think these people are the absolute dregs of humanity.

        I have an irrational hatred for these people, only irrational in so far as they are painfully common and it makes it difficult to tolerate anyone in the real world. Just regurgitating the things they're told are important by the mainstream media, that they see on Reddit and TikTok. It's one of the top reasons why I hate social media tbh, the sentiment spreads like a plague and suddenly everyone in your workplace is parroting the same talking points. When it's geopolitics, it's even more infuriating, cause fuck you Lee, you didn't know the first thing about Ukraine in January 2022, but February 2022, you're saying Russia should be nuked.

          lol one unique thing about Americans that I saw after 9/11 and the War on Terror is that Americans always call for their country to nuke any nation they don't like. There were men slamming their fists on tables and screaming about how the entire Middle East should be carpet bombed.

            I root for the demise of the species. Intelligent life is an abomination.

          On the plus side, when everyone is parroting the same points, not only can you refute them more easily but posessing any level of historical context or knowledge about the situation lets you run laps around their blinkered understandings.
