Others have covered a lot, but one thing that have helped me through rough patches is to find something to do. If possible to occupy both body and mind, like exercise, yard work, hiking. Something positive with meaning in and of itself. Time is a friend of broken hearts, and making it pass quicker could just help.
I hope you find a way out and through, we all usually do as the survivors we are.
Great find, read through the entire thing and found it enlightening and scary, since we’re dealing with the rise of fascism again.
LSC on Reddit was quite active, so it might have name recognition. Thanks for the heads up!
You’re not the only one to miss my attempt at humor. I suspect I have used a format from Reddit that might be obscure in other parts of the online world. I make a statement and pretend like it’s a quote from a group or individual I actually disagree with. I am not advocating for police funding, I suggested that the image might elicit such a response from naive liberals.
I was joking. I thought it was super obvious, but here we are.
It’s sad to see how badly the police need more funding, their vehicles braking down en masse like that!
___ Some liberal, probably
Got tricked into taking a whiff out of a barrel of ammonia as a kid. I do not recommend! It’s not a stench, it’s a sensation.
This is what revolutions are made of.
If you need to look for a measure of how you’re doing as a society, this surely is one of them.
Since I am a Swedish communist and know plenty of them, I feel it might fall on me to say that you are just being ignorant and judgmental. There has been a fair share of naivety in the ranks of the left wing parties in Sweden, but that was much more notable during the 1970’s than it is today. I don’t know any communist or socialist in Sweden that argues in such simplistic terms like “not USA is automatically good”, that’s just an insane claim to make. And while we’re at it, most of the western world seem to agree that “not-Russia is automatically good” with all the head-in-the-sand shit the west is pulling over Ukraine. I believe you are touting prejudice against communists, like so many before you have done. It doesn’t do anyone any good.
I’m here as a father of a soon-to-be teenage trans girl. Even though no one in our family every questioned the reality of this journey, I feel the need to educate myself and learn from the stories that people kindly share in places like this.
I can also add that if anyone needs a kind word from a dad, I’m here for you.
It has been said that the British settlers that went to America arguably didn’t escape prosecution as much as they escaped to prosecute others freely.
