  • Missing the decades in which they tried persuading, debating, discussing and educating up to this tipping point, this final straw, all to no avail.

    Are we supposed to just keep trying forever, pointlessly? Exhaustingly? Every day? For another 30 years?

    At some point for our own mental wellbeing it’s time to consider that some people will simply never change, are closed to any and all discussions, and it’s best for ourselves to stop trying over and over, and focus on our own mental health instead.

    I was idealistic once, and would have said there’s never a time to stop trying to fix other people, to help them see a different viewpoint, or mortality, etc, but some people just can’t be fixed. All you’re really doing by continuing to try is breaking yourself in the process. Be kind to yourself <3






  • “One small step for a man”

    I know, I know, it’s not as poetic sounding and not how history most often quotes it, but that’s what he actually said, the “a” just gets a bit lost in his way of speaking and the less than perfect radio downlink.

    Once you know the actual quote and think about it, it makes way more sense too haha :-D




  • “turning revolutionary”

    Please, in the West we’ve had huge societal crisis after crisis, crumbling rights, services, and stability, etc, and nothing has turned revolutionary.

    You think people who are willing (if you look at supposedly developed, modern places like the USA for example) to put up with a clearly predatory evil healthcare & police system, fascist government, almost no basic workers rights, disappearing people from the streets into concentration camps, etc etc, are going to ‘turn revolutionary’ over ANYTHING?

    We’ve had every opportunity, every chance to stand up and fight for what’s right for us and others, and the best we can do are a few days of mild protests with some cardboard signs (which, given how far we’ve allowed our rights to be eroded are just as likely to land us in jail, or labeled as extremists).

    Turning revolutionary my arse.
