Asking our marginalised comrades be very fucking careful during struggle sessions like this because you know shitheads like to take advantage during times like this. Particularly of the concern troll variety. I don't want vulnerable people being targeted.
This is the only post I'm going to make about this stupid thing.
It was interesting to me to note that I was disappointed but not perturbed by the US election results but the drama here has gotten to me much more. I guess it's because I care about this place and its users far more than I care about that absurd circus that they call liberal democratic elections, so maybe my priorities are in good order here?
My approach is to keep doing what I do, to steer clear of the drama, and to avoid throwing fuel on the fire. (Maybe deep down I'm a radical centrist? /s)
At the end of the day, I think it's just an unfortunate series of discrete events of drama that have occurred at the same time. If it happens to be driven by a wrecker or if a wrecker is attempting to take advantage of the opportunity that this situation has presented them with then that has no power over me because I'm just gonna be over here in my little corner, doing exactly what I've been doing, and I'm not going to get dragged into factionalism or drama or any externally-inflicted burnout because I'm just some weird little guy doing their weird little thing - can't stop, won't stop.
Good advice. I'm mostly going to try and stay out of it from now on.
