Oh man am I ever with you. I’m absolutely an idealist, I agree with the OP’s sentiment. But I will absolutely support anyone with any ideology that gets us closer. Small steps are easier to take, this bullshit that everyone thinks we need the perfect candidate with the one weird trick.
See what that got us. I have no goddamned idea where to go from here. I’ll support any ham sandwich that drags us in the right direction.
I’m in the same boat. I love that it makes self hosting easier for me. It does what I need and even gives me a small extra measure of security. I admit, I use it because I’m lazy, I could do it without Cloudflare and do for some services. So, I figure if it truly becomes urgent or intolerable I can drop it from the stack.
One of my family members got into the “blue-green algae” fad (about 5 years after it fell out of mainstream). It was too expensive so they bought the horse algae from veterinarian supply. He said it was exactly the same, as long as you could put up with the grit.
These people exist (and I’m related to them).
I’m with you. I mean, its probably the bubble I live in, but I’m so tired of trying to talk to my friends and family about all of this but I’m dismissed as being paranoid or they tell me that Biden was just as bad or frankly most often just some dismissive joke in response.
I’m guessing about as many people care about this as there are who support all of it. The remaining 40-50% is just checked out and thinks this is just politics as usual. That’s my impression anyway.
I wish more people would see it.
you underestime just how much they hate. I think their hate will overcome anything that fuck does.
people are incredibly stupid, incredibly lazy and america is chock full of authoritarians just craving to be told what to do.
I honestly think they would put the pedal to the metal. But I also think without the cult of personality, it will fall apart real fast. Only problem is, no idea who victors in that power vacuum…
Underrated comment :)
I’ve felt the same way since his first election. I don’t know what the other side looks like, but we all will soon.
doing everything you can to combat the unhinged, gun-toting, lunatic stereotype, huh?
Have you ever tried getting certain folks to wear a mask?
