It breaks my heart as I'd guess most of the left leaning folks fighting share 90% of the same beliefs/values, find the alternative repellant but as you say, we miss the bigger picture.
On the other hand we do get a lot of internet points for being snarky at others so that's cool. /s
Let's not forget that now we get the swell invention of nearly inperceptable bots that can tirelessly poke and prod people away from focusing on the smoke and mirrors
I kind of hope those note break social media, who wants to interact in a sea of boys?
But then I wonder if people would actually care if most of their interactions were with bots as long as they got to feel they were finally winning an argument.
I'm not sure I ever felt I was winning an argument on the internet, it mostly feels like smacking my face into a wall of idiocy lol
Wrestling with a pig and all that.
I like "playing chess with a pigeon" as my moron wrasslin aphorism
Yeah, that's my favourite too.
