Really, the thing people need to realize is that calling them morons is not understating the damage they can do. I know idiots. Idiots with power can do a HELL of a lot of damage, precisely because they are idiots. A smart person will consider consequences. A dumb ass will see a shiny button that says, "Do Not Press ; Self Destruct", get told by the people they hate, "Don't touch that we'll ALL die", and go, "Fuck you Imma touch it!"

    It's freeing for me in that, "No matter what, we're at the guaranteed fuck stage. My brain is now freeing up the energy that goes to unproductive worry, and it can now be spared for productive minimization of damage", which I thought was clear with me saying "Still gonna be for eco measures and such"

    Huh. That's oddly freeing

    "Oh we're all fucked guaranteed. The stress is gone"

    I mean, still gonna be for eco measures and such, but it's like a weight is off my shoulders in terms of worry

    I prettt much have to rely on Fedia and some Torontonian friends to know how the public actually feels about Pierre

    You have not experienced an echo chamber til you've lived in Alberta, cripes it often feels like Pierre has a 99.9% chance of winning if you listen to people here
