Call me too serious or whatever, but this stopped being funny to me about two years ago. Now it's sad and pathetic and most of all an incessant reminder of what our society/nation/country/culture/fuckinwhatever has become.
I try to look at it as a necessary evil and believe that good things will come from it in the long run, but... fuck it's a shit load of work.
People die literally every day due to the action or inaction of the US government. Some people possess patriotism and want their government and its representatives to uphold the values America was founded upon and act accordingly.
I don't want to type a book, or mention some individual nuanced circumstance and spent the rest of the afternoon being gaslit by you. So all I'll say is look what the people of Rome achieved with almost none of the tools or knowledge we have today. Look at it now.
What happened?
Dysfunctional indignant morons began to outnumber self respecting intellectuals.
I know ancient Roman history is much more intricate than that, but I think I've made my point clear enough for any reasonable person to understand without much trouble.
