  • Here’s the thing. I knew I wasn’t gonna stop posting. But I get very frustrated by the self-image of online leftists being so defeatist and nihilistic. And it makes it worse when I’ve put in work to overcome that and get it projected back onto me.

The cognitive dissonance is real and the most antisocial of them are just gathering supplies for their neighbors anyway.
