    If you’re actually interested in motivating action you should start by considering that maybe it’s possible people are trying and that there are entrenched systems of oppression that dull their impact, or its visibility to you. And that you don’t know everything about what someone is doing based on what you’ve personally seen online.

    If all you’re interested in is browbeating strangers to vent your frustrations in the guise of productive discourse, by all means, carry on.

      Sorry. You’re right. I’m being mean.

      I’ve completely forgotten the USA is the best country the world has even seen. Americans are the best people in the world. Hardworking, bootstrap, god-fearing, titans of industry who deserve nothing but praise, ass kissing, and baby talk.

      I’ll promptly correct my globe to say “Gulf of America” and order a bunch of useless bobbles off Amazon to atone for my sins.

        Wow, you actually took a position but it’s not the one I expected!
