    Man, I’ve been saying pretty much exactly this for fucking YEARS.

    People have looked at me funny for a while when I’ve said stuff like that. Lately, people have stopped looking at me funny and started taking the discussion seriously.

    On one hand, I’m glad that it doesn’t feel like I’m screaming into the void anymore.

    On the other hand… why is it so fucking impossible for humans to acknowledge and react to anything unless it’s staring them right in the goddamn face (conceptually-related sad climate change noises)?

      I am with you. And maybe a little bit salty about the majority of people. But then again the rise of fascism really has been staring me in the face for a decade. I am an aid worker focusing on refugees. You can imagine the messages I have gotten. Including the most insane, actually copied race purity propaganda leaflet with notes I got through snail mail. In a weird way, you almost have to respect the effort.
