  • That’s the problem, though. For years I tried to understand, and for years I watched as they didn’t do that. Instead, I watched as conservatives fought every bit of progressive legislation. I heard all the arguments that the Left was becoming more radical, but I saw the Left increasingly fail to enact progressive legislation as conservatives were successfully combating years-old policies. And conservatives have been doing this long, long before I even came around.

    I tried to understand their economic and social justifications behind their arguments, but none of them were representative of the US they taught me about. So I’m done trying. I started giving up in 2012, and I should have given up 12 years before that. If more people had quit trying to appeal to conservatives sooner, maybe we wouldn’t be dealing with this.


  • Why should we tolerate the intolerant? It’s been over 10yrs, and it’s only gotten worse with each year. That’s how we got in this mess, and it’s obvious humanity’s entire history of compromising with fascists and proto-fascists only allowed for the civil rights of the time to be eroded, or their progress impeded.

    A Trump supporter today is still a Trump supporter. Only when they stop supporting Trump and actually prove they’re trying to change their ideology will I stop ridiculing these people.










  • Work usually sucks, but that doesn’t mean a leader should treat their team like shit. Too many managers don’t understand that when they treat their team well, respect them, and advocate for their rights as workers, they’re elevating everyone including themselves. Companies can still record tremendous profits and also treat people better.













  • I’m originally from Mississippi. Most people who call it the war of Northern Aggression vehemently swear either the North fired first or that it’s completely unknown who shot first.

    History and much of education is taught with a different perspective in the there, within the scope of extreme conservatism and evangelical Christianity. Much of Mississippi’s history in the US was heavily embellished in my history courses and I know many who had similar experiences.
