I don't think you deserve to be so heavily downvoted, but also Christ it's nice to have a refuge where I don't have to constantly hate humanity. Particularly when so often it's simply not possible to have a genuine conversation because folks are spitting out talking points and ignoring facts. Which the left does as well but at least they don't make me want to go on a murderous rampage. Usually.
That last bit feels very unlikely or a total distortion. Not because I'm looking to argue, but I also happen to be human (meaning I think this applies universally to all humans regardless of any particular philosophy) and that sounds incredibly tedious and I can't believe that's the sort of thing any other human would spend their valuable time doing. I'd rather fold my laundry, and I fucking hate folding laundry.
