Funny how you go on and on about the importance of connecting with the people around you, but then when someone shows up who is different from you and talks about how they are different, you stop trying to connect and turn incredibly hostile instead.
So much for empathy.
That you feel attacked is what I want here. I am not here to make peace with my own side. I am pissed at my own side. I want to antagonize you all by telling you the hard shit you don't wanna hear.
One of those hard things is you have all broadly gotten to sheltered, too lazy, too self-entitled and abandoned community. Leftists and progressives broadly are rejecting community because it seems like something "midwest white rednecks" have. The same way we let them have the flag and guns. It's dumb, we have to exercise, we have to get stronger, we have to get angry.
Get mad at me. Hate me. WHATEVER THE FUCK IT TAKES TO SAY "I WILL BE STRONGER" so that when you do talk to your neighbor you don't feel so fucking drained you have to escape to your dark hidey hole for a whole day.
It's less that I am defensive and more that I think, based on your comments here, that you are a judgemental self-absorbed asshole who does not understand people nearly as well as you think that you do. 😉
(Also, for the record, although I may be a troll online, I am not a troll in real life. Despite what you seem to believe, I do not actually live in a cave.)
