Anthem and Babylon’s fall… sadly.

Have my upvote good sir/ma’am

ICYMI, I didn’t want to sound defensive. I mean it’s an interesting conservation, and I found it intriguing that I agree wholeheartedly with what you wrote yet arrive at a slightly different conclusion. People don’t always look to pick fights, sometimes, it’s just about discussion.

I do agree with almost everything you wrote, but I don’t understand the moral consequence. One do not have to think they’re too smart or too pure to take some kind of solace from the fact that there’s one less fascist walking the earth.

To me, that has nothing to do with being “better” as a human. It’s just that their project means my/our death. The more they grow, the more we die and vice versa. I do not dehumanize them nor do I think they’re stupid or deserve anything.

It’s as simple as : the more they grow, the more anything I care for will wither away.

I’ve finally developed the skill those last weeks.

Info dumping = I walk away. Calmly, kindly but… I just walk away. At work? With friends? At a bar? Walking away.

My life is easier now and dissociation is down by 90%. I should have done that YEARS ago.

I wonder what chain of thought led you to this conclusion, which is very strange to me. But at the same time, I’m not willing to start some kind of futile quarell over this so… well, have it your way and have a good day.

I mean America is a fascist regime. And you know who support fascism? Fascists. So I guess most fascists are kinda OK with what’s happening.

That’s not denial, that’s full endorsement.

Ah yes the spin

I suppose that’s the best way indeed. But I thought it wouldn’t hurt, in cases where no one could be found, for people who are slowly burning out to know that others may be available for helping, even for a small time, while they recover !

Rhythm and flavor, brother/sister. Give the author a break.

And here I was thinking : “Hey, clever me just noticed it looked like the saddam hussein meme. I’ll go to the comment section make that joke. It will be hilarious.”

The comment section :

I EARNED it through hard… wait…

Donated what I could on a hard month (something something insurance company something something half of my salary), but with heart. If the fundraiser persist, I’ll be glad to donate more next month!

Err, yeah, I get the meme and it’s quite true in its own way…

BUT… This research team REALLY need an ethics committee. A heavy handed one.

Although if I really have to choose, it’ll be 2, but I’ll silently complain he whole time

The present is now, old fella

This, my friend, is a very nice duck

I think, if it was a random XIXth personality, I’d have thought “well yes, typical XIXth century dude”.

But Hugo… I’ve been taught so much about Hugo being a national treasure that the trip back to reality was brutal.

Oh, not them. I suppose they meant among non-right wingers. I always found quite explicit they aren’t welcome here. Not today, not ever.
