So, when people ask me for one thing they can do to bring about a more positive future, I suggest they seek out stories of real change that are happening right now. I’m talking about local food projects, renewable energy projects and neighbourhoods coming together to create their own solutions.
So your bitter sarcasm suggests that a person can’t be simultaneously hopeful and actively struggling, that you must always be immersed in your own local suffering and ignore the success of others as false hopes, that we must universalize our own experiences, and that an emotionally complex life is not possible?
Sounds like a response from a place of relative emotional ease, friend, but thanks for the drive-by judgment. Always constructive.
What judgement? I was analyzing a statement, not a person, and asking for confirmation. Do you normally look for subtext?
Also, fuck your passive aggressive sarcasm as a style. This is a judgement: you appear to be pugnacious.
Happy to help you shake the dust off that one, gramps. Neat to see it in the wild, NGL.
You wanna drill down on your blithe proliferation of distractionary philosophizing, or are we all just here for feel-good ear-finger-plugs, instead? Is that sage I smell? You got your crystals in alignment? “Seek out stories of”? Really? Fuck your low-effort-consumerism. DO something, potato. BE something. Stop watching/reading about those that ARE.
Fuck you gently right back, cupcake.
OK so who’s being judgy here?
