I love it when people have no hope for me, it really makes me feel motivated. (I don’t identify with the US as an entity at all, but I do live here and don’t have somewhere else to go.)

I know this isn’t about me personally, but it’s demoralizing to read stuff like this. I could easily guess where some of it’s coming from. The US is in the middle of another baby-killing operation. So I try to just not say anything on the subject in general. Time and place, you know. But I don’t come on lemmygrad to read about how one region or another is doomed. If you can’t have hope for US citizens, then at least muster some hope for the indigenous nations who still have to contend with its occupation in the region.

I wouldn’t blame you if you feel no sympathy for me, but don’t tell me to give up. That’s a step too far.
