Have faith that there are others in this world just like you who haven't gotten so roped into extremist/toxic politics. I partially blame their stupidity, and I partially blame those who weaponized social engineering to bring out the worst in people. We are constantly being persuaded to hate each other, and all these different groups and protests like BLM, Gays, feminism, MAGA, all all designed to make people resent them instead of unite people. If you want to see how to unite people, read up on Daryl Davis.

After spending too much time online, it seems like brain-rot is all the world is, because that's the only thing that goes viral. Intelligent, boring stuff goes unnoticed. I'm flattered I'm on your list of "non-asstards", as I'm also reminded I am horrible person every time I go places like reddit and don't conform to their stupid social-political ideology of making the details of a few people's alternative sexual lifestyles everybody's business, then slinging pejoratives and making straw-man arguments about your character when you tell them to bugger off.

I agree. I literally only care about two things in people: Them not being stupid, and them not being assholes, and modern society has an overabundance of both, due to social engineering and the "Divide and Conquer" strategies coming from the elite over the past twenty+ years (this really all began right after 9/11, but woke culture and COVID supercharged it all.)

Thanks. I always try daily to be a better person, but as I say, stupidity and assholes are my weakness. There's that old saying, "Never argue with an idiot; they'll reduce you down to their level, then beat you with experience." I keep forgetting that.
