It's not a justification for genocide, it's a call for empathy. Give what I wrote another read with that in mind.
As for your questions... I think our soldiers are victims. I was there, so I think I've got at least a somewhat informed perspective on things. It's not something you can prepare for. In my experience, forgiveness and understanding come with time, but it will never be the majority.
Not saying it is. But having an accessible/fun way to get a jump start into something that appeals to you is kinda nice.
Because "just read theory" is awful. I've been reading some today. And it is... Not written to be engaging to a modern audience.
I mean, obviously. As a single person, definitely. But issues require groups, groups require compromise, and that's the political system. The whole thing is set up to encourage factionalism. And factions get boiled down to their simplest parts.
I feel like I just wrote in a big circle. Anyways, yeah, I agree. Lol.
Also totally valid. We need a political hypercube or something. It's a complex thing, with a lot of gadgets and variables. Just human nature to try and simplify it I guess.
Solid take. Change happens from the bottom up, a little at a time. It's a bummer that nothing big usually happens in one lifetime. I guess it's easier to see the steps when looking through the lens of history, and frustrating when you're actually living it.
Gonna throw in my vote for the tail-end of fall. When it's almost-but-not-quite winter, and every morning is chilly and frosty. There's something really peaceful about the quietness of it. And it tends to be right in-between major holidays, so the break from "being present" is kinda nice, too.
Also tends to coincide with pumpkin spice season. Despite all the recent negativity about it in recent years pumpkin spiced everything is an absolute favorite of mine.
I consider myself quite a lefty, but really fall into the DemSoc range of things. Not far left enough for hexbear or .ml, and too far left for any other groups, really. I hate being so reluctant to post on .ml communities just to avoid a blanket ban, but it is what it is. Just kinda sucks.
