Won't someone think of the precious norms. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I'll own it: I over reacted. The older I get, the more critical I realize politics is - when we fuck up, people lose their rights and push our planet closer and closer to non-life-supporting, so seeing dumb shit from the left is especially aggravating cuz that's where our hope is.

We cannot afford that shit in today's political environment - the stakes are just too high. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] spark947@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago Yeah, but in this case it seems like the dude was rushing back to fund the government and made a genuine mistake because he was in a hurry. permalink fedilink source parent
