well i'm glad. i do my best to maintain an empathetic approach while also speaking the truth into the world my government wants to kill. this thread has been more mentally taxing than i would have preferred, but i keep reminding myself that it still connected with at least a few people even if all the comments are saying i'm in denial about that very same government's core nature and trying to deflect blame from it.
I can't imagine seeing the word coagulate and having it stand out as "intellectual". I thought you did an excellent job of explaining a complex subject that is usually riddled with actual "five dollar words", in a digestible way.
It's very thoughtful of you to keep responding to the angry folks dragging their clubs on the ground. Thank you for the labor. Good luck in your battles.
