    The thread starts with implying he's a corn cob lmao.

    All I'm saying is I don't understand the anger towards someone who felt they wanted to run for office on a principled and genuinely good platform. Maybe there's something he did that I missed? idk it just baffles me. He ran a campaign that was probably far too radical to get significant votes, but at least he tried. I would personally be very proud if I were him, but if I saw a bunch of hyper online redditors shitting on me for my failed attempt to change the country it'd be mad disheartening and depressing.

      Anger? who is angry? not me once again.

      I just thought he fell flat on his face in a funny way. That's all.

      Go debate the fine points of hatred and anger and whatever with someone who actually feels those things for him, because so far none of this has anything to do with how I see him.

      Even you acknowledge he cratered his campaign, and all I did was make a joke that while trying this good thing he will crater it by growing a trash union. And just because I don't think the same as you for some random nerd, I am now "hyper online and shitting on him".

        Ok, I guess I just feel like defending him for trying to do something good, even when people are just joking around.

          Go off if you'd like, king, but trying to do so while colouring others as "hyper-online redditors" who hate the guy looks more like hyper-online redditism than me not thinking highly of Justin 4 Congress.

          Like you could just say "actually idk if it's good to be joking about someone trying to do good things even if he's not the best" and I would totally agree with you and feel bad about my post.

          But jumping to talk of hatred, anger, whatever, in those that think differently than you is a sign of being hyper-online itself.

          “But if the designing of the future and the proclamation of ready-made solutions for all time is not our affair, then we realize all the more clearly what we have to accomplish in the present—I am speaking of a ruthless criticism of everything existing, ruthless in two senses: The criticism must not be afraid of its own conclusions, nor of conflict with the powers that be.”

            I didn't really mean anything super dramatic by "anger," more like "pervasive resentment" but yeah fair. That's a good quote tho
